The "leak" with nothing more, that all the other candidates would have been destroyed when all was revealed, is well, simply reckless, and has that defamatory odor to it.
You're wrong. Pot smoking was not the universal norm of the era and was not any sort of badge of respectability -- and I will have to point out that those who refrained would take solid offense at your suggestion that their choice makes them ill-qualified for adult life today in a leadership role.
FYI, back in the day Air Force officer candidates were explicitly asked this question and if the answer was yes, they were shown the door. I suppose military officers charged with the safekeeping and use of nuclear weapons in some way don't qualify for your worldview of today's leadership, but fortunately you are in charge of pretty much nothing.
Okay, I'll tone down the close here. I type thoughtless stuff now and then too in a fit of humor, but guy, you are way, way out of line on this.
