One class period we breifly discussed the relationship between war and drugs, this is what i wrote about in my project one paper. i belive that the wars in the middle east have placed a great deal of mental and emotional pain on the soliders. many of the soliders were reported to have PTSD, post tramatic stress disorder, after their tour was up. many of these soliders suffered many painful nights back at home beacause of the horrific scenes they experianced while on duty. this disorder is treated by a wide variety of pills prescribed by doctors. these pills that are used to supress the disorder are being abused by many thousands of soliders and civilians alike. aside from the current conflict, many past wars have influenced many soliders too abuse hard core drugs. one such example is the vietnam war that has help create an enormous drug problem.
