30. Drug abuse in the US military is a legit national security issue and a safety one.

100% I support drug testing the troops.

Do you want to be the aircrew on a bomber or fighter jet with the pilot high on drugs?

Do you want the officers in charge of the nuclear arsenal to be drunk all the time?

If you are out on the combat field and the guy next to you who is supposed to have
your back and save your life is passed out due to drug usage?

If people don't want to follow rules which saves their lives they need to find
another line of work that is not so taxing.
