That is incorrect. We're not in Vietnam anymore, Gabby. DO try and catch up with 45 years you missed.
Drugs have not been readily available in any combat zone we have been in since then. Perhaps in Afghanistan but those are mostly Marines and the Corps will test you on Friday then turn around and do it again Monday to see who thinks they're smarter than the average bear. Only a few are dumb enough to risk it, and those few are usually willing to take any punishment the military dishes out to get out.
You're also showing your ignorance in the area of "flyboys". Pilots are officers. They don't stand guard duty. About half of them are alcoholics. I doubt many if any at all are going to risk their career or that job waiting at United Airlines to get popped on a drug test.
Junior enlisted personnel walk guard posts and they're not even allowed to get too close to the planes much less fly them.
AND ... they're called "zoomies". Flyboys is so freakin' WWII.
This is just another shining example of finding the needle in the haystack dummies and trying to present them as the norm to throw dirt on the military.
