Alarmed by rising use of Ecstasy and other "party drugs" by military personnel at bases nationwide and abroad, the services are striking back by increasing random drug testing, booting out first-time offenders and court-martialing anyone caught selling narcotics. Although the number of personnel who test positive for drug use still is tiny in an active-duty force of 1.4 million, military brass are worried that the growing popularity of a new crop of drugs will reverse the military's two-decade-long pattern of declining drug use among its troops.

| In think its sick that the military is more worried about pot smoking than people going out and getting hammered at a bar and coming to work on surface to air missle systems. My captain just did a shipwide drug test and I got news for him "2/3 of your crew have smoked pot in the last 6 months and we still get complimented for great work and dedication. Damn those potheads what a bunch of losers [ Post Comment ] |

| They might have to reinstate the draft before long if they are going to test more. Everyone I've ever known in the service smoked the herb. [ Post Comment ] |

| Trained killers using ecstacy? I can appreciate the irony in that, considering I couldnt kill a fly when im rolling. And whats this about the worlds supply of E coming from Belgium? Im betting there are at least 5 labs in every major city in North America. Light up and Live. [ Post Comment ] |

| ya but it sure is ok to go to the club on base an get sloshed on booze. That is pathetic. I failed 2 test in the militaty for pot finally I luckily got out with an honorable. It made me sick all the booze you want but smoke a joint and melt the bottle. I am glad I am back in the civilian world. [ Post Comment ] |
