USAF Sanctioned Amphetamine Use

If this blows up with lots of media coverage, the ramifications for the so called "War on Drugs" will be interesting:

Need For Speed -- Did Amphetamines Play a Role in Afghanistan Friendly Fire Incident?

Preliminary court-martial proceedings begin next month against two U.S. fighter pilots (reservists -- Air National Guard types) involved in a tragic incident over Afghanistan that cost four lives and exposed a little-known fact about the way America fights its long-distance air wars.

Essentially American combat pilots are routinely juiced to the max on speed...

So the defense is likely to be -- "They were all methed up."

Hypocrisy sucks...

But I guess it gives new meaning to "Flying high with the Air Force."
