Its not like this is uncommon of soldiers in past wars.

I suspect it was the war that hooked him on weed, then the weed turned him retarded.

I'm not anti pot at all. I used to indulge quite frequently when I was younger and have nothing against it.

My point is this, every single Vietnam vet i have ever met, was messed up mentally, and I'm pretty certain that 100% of the Vietnam vets I have met, all smoked pot.

Ya, but if I had to guess, it was the senseless slaughter that did it, and not the pot.

Vietnam vets were trained in a very different way then current soldiers. It was kind of a cruel game that was played with their heads. They didnt make soldiers, they made killers. Then they refused to own up to it and get the soldiers the help they needed.

Therefore it must have been the marijuana that led to their mental instability, and not the rotting stench of their buddy's body that they've been trapped in a foxhole next to for three days. Right?

Hell, it had to have at least contributed right, I mean it is a narcotic after all...

I understand you say you have nothing against it, but then only one sentence later you attempt to associate its use with mental instability in Vietnam Vets...so I'm confused.

Where do you think they got their pot from? SE Asia maybe? Do you think they could have put something in the pot to dumb the soldiers up? I think it's possible, of course there are other possibilities like agent orange and like you mentioned, just the sight of death everyday could have fucked them up as well. We''ll never really know the cause of their mental illness, but I think smoking dirt weed could have had just a little bit to do with it.

That's because the pot has rotten your brain.

Interesting theory, I've never heard that before. Common, or something you came up with? I'm going to have to look into that, I guess I can see a possibility of the enemy gaining knowledge that soldiers were smoking pot and then putting chemicals in the pot. Marijuana alone though? Not a chance.

Dude you know I actually shaved that shit off! But...considering there may now be a possibility I could one day be known as Epic Goatee Man I may have to grow it back.

My own theory. Pot alone, agreed, no chance, but like I said, I think there was something in the pot.
