I read about the drug in Syria last week and wondered ummmm. Maybe that helps explain the “speed” of the downfall. The soldiers are whacked out on drugs.

The claim it supported billions in revenue for the government made me think of how drugs support our own.

I believe the same thing was discovered to have happened to the German soldiers in world War 2.
