What drug was used on Military members during Iraqi Freedom that caused servicemen to come home and murder?
Posted on January 7th, 2010 by admin
Okay…since I have seemed to piss a lot of people off. I was not asking to start an argument. I simply asked because I was watching television and heard someone refer to some kind of drug that is concidered the "New Agent Orange". I AM Prior Service and am very proud to be. My husband just got back from Iraq, I was just wondering if what I heard was true. So calm down!
I do not think there was a release of a drug that caused servicemen to "snap" when they came home. What happened is that they were not prepared to be re-introduced to civilian life so quickly. The military job is to take an ordinary man and to transform him into an extension of the service to do what the military needs to be done. The service men do not have the same amount of training to de-military them. They need more counseling and support groups to readjust.

in every war young men have found that they enjoy killing. there is no drug used to cause that. 18, 19 year old kids go overseas with high tech weaponry and told to kill. it’s not hard to figure out. this is historic, not unique to this "war"

OK first off the actions of those soldiers are no fault of the military. People make decisions on there own. We were not drug ed at all. But sometimes these men come home having a bad time with dealing with getting back into normal society. A lot of soldiers end up in trouble because they don’t deal with their problems like they should. There is always help that soldiers can go to as well as the family of these soldiers. If all service men were drug ed then I too would have killed people when I came home. Don’t take your anger out on soldiers because that is a reason for soldiers to feel uneasy when they return home hearing people tell them they were murderers of Innocent people.

That question is retarded and you should be ashamed for asking it. I have served in the Military Law Enforcement and numerous other capacities where i have carried a weapon for the last decade. I have been shot, blow up, and all kinds of other bad stuff. I have engaged enemies, and seen a lot of bad stuff. At no point did i ever want to come home and hurt people. Those kids were bad apples before they came into the military and never let them selves be indoctrinated into the military way of thinking. Honor, Courage and Commitment
I currently serve in Iraq and see nothing but outstanding men and women.

Wow, what a sarcastic question, designed to elicit a heated response. You know that drugs are not the cause of these actions. Kneedragger is correct in saying they were most likely bad before they went in, and then just increased in their insanity. How many murderous young men are Iraq veterans, vice murderous young men who are non Iraq veterans, in percentages? Find the answer and you may ask what drug our society is giving to cause young men to murder.
