What drug was used on Military members during Iraqi Freedom that caused servicemen to come home and murder?

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.

yes, but the older verion drugunov svd sniper rifle is used in iraq, though it is still very potent and deadly, i know a buddy of mine who has one in the states and he loves it.its highly accurate up to a range of 1000 metres plus.

i feel as you do.it makes me sick to see these soldiers and innocent  civilians dying every day for George Bush's personal war.lets see now Saddam is out of power.there were no weapons.the police and army of Iraq that we are training are selling weapons to the people we are fighting and helping with kidnappings.it doesn't take a rocket scientist on this one.GET OUR SOLDIERS OUT OF HARMS WAY AND BRING THEM HOME.

I agree wholeheartedly, but for some reason, many people, especially people in legislatures, think that drugs are the worst thing ever. I think it's absolutely absurd that someone who actually killed someone could theoretically get less time than most people do for dealing drugs.

No. He died because he felt that he had betrayed his friends as a result of the dossier he produced. He knew that there were no WMD's in Iraq but was pressured to advise otherwise in order to strengthen the case for invading Iraq.

Don't know location but in sunny south us of a we use the DARE Program available through local police, they'll even do the lesson for you. If any military nearby , contact post information for name and number of drug information officer. Usually a 2nd Lt. who gets stuck with job but MUST perform to make 1stLt. Very good source. Contact a military recruiter even, they can wade thru the red tape for you.

Methadone was first synthesized by German scientists during World War II after the United States and their allies cut off the opium supply to Germany.

Marines are killed everyday in Iraq. (71 so far in April 06 ) They wanted this war but now they are getting their ass kicked all over the place. Three years ago the Marines were yelling "Bring it On". Now they are begging "Bring me Home". The Marines discovered bullets don't bounce off their chests. We all know the USA military will eat crap and lose the war.

I think the idea is to punish those who are dealing LARGE AMOUNTS (like those selling to the US) and to not punish those who use it for personal use. Actually Cocaine, Heroine, and Marajuana are all useful Medicinal drugs, and were commonly used as such until Nixon.

Yes.\n\nIt was a criminal act towards other humans who were neither soldiers nor combattants. They were just folks living in a village.\n\nWar does not give you the right to take an innocent's life.

CIA, the military, FBI...you name it.  In Russia, they experimented with LSD.\n\nThe government also gave free cig's, participated in torture, and started massage houses <prostitution of the locals> for the military boys.

oints of Interest:\n\n1.) TRIPLE MAXIMUM LETHAL DOSE EVEN FOR SEVERE ADDICTS: At least three days after his death, Kurt Cobain's blood contained 1.52 milligrams of morphine per litre (mg/L) plus traces of a "diazepam-like" substance. This level is widely known to represent three times the lethal dose of heroin, but it is not commonly understood that this level is three times the lethal dose even for severe heroin addicts. Generally, a blood morphine level of 0.5mg/L is caused by 75 mg - 80 mg of heroin, the established maximum lethal dose, even for severe addicts. A blood level of 1.52 mg/L generally indicates an original dose of approximately 225 mg - 240 mg of heroin.\n\n2.) INCAPACITATED OR DEAD BEFORE GUNSHOT: Large overdoses of heroin by heroin addicts are a phenomenon which is well understood. Research clearly shows that an overdose in the range of that received by Cobain would lead to immediate and complete incapacitation and/or immediate death.\n\n3.) OTHER FACTORS ENSURED OVERDOSE LETHALITY: The 1.52 mg/L blood morphine level does not compensate for the presence of diazepam, or Cobain's low body weight, both of which are well proven to substantially increase the lethality of the heroin.\n\n4.) CASE UNPARALLELED IN SUICIDE & OVERDOSE REPORTS: A review of 3586 suicides, including 760 violent suicides, shows no case involving both a gun and narcotic overdose of any kind, supporting theories regarding the absence or extreme rarity of violent suicide among addicts.\n\n5.) CASE CONSISTENT WITH HOMICIDE PATTERNS: A review of cases involving homicides shows many similarities with patterns in the Cobain case.\n\n6.) OTHER EVIDENCE INDICATES HOMICIDE: Officially acknowledged evidence exists which indicates the possibility of homicide, including a misleading missing persons report, postmortem credit card usage, handwriting discrepancies on the "suicide" note, and the lack of legible fingerprints on the weapon. It appears the police were prejudicially in favour of a suicide ruling, and that the coroner was involved in a conflict of interest predisposing him towards this major discrepancy in the evaluation of his findings.\n\n7.) CONCLUSION: HOMICIDE: The evidence indicates that a massive intravenous dose of heroin, and possibly a benzodiazepine, was administered to Cobain. The final of the two known injections incapacitated and/or killed Cobain, and the gunshot is evidence of a homicide staged to look like a suicide. The case should be re-opened by an independent investigatory body.\n\nSource(s):\nwwww.justiceforkurtcobain.com

Hi! Read this and weep...\n\nPCP (phencyclidine) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Its use in humans was discontinued in 1965, because patients often became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects. PCP is illegally manufactured in laboratories and is sold on the street by such names as angel dust, ozone, wack, and rocket fuel. Killer joints and crystal supergrass are names that refer to PCP combined with marijuana. The variety of street names for PCP reflects its bizarre and volatile effects.\n\nPCP is a "dissociative drug," meaning that it distorts perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of detachment (dissociation) from the environment and self. Dissociative drugs act by altering distribution of the neurotransmitter glutamate throughout the brain. Glutamate is involved in a person's perception of pain, responses to the environment, and memory.\n\nPCP is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water or alcohol. It has a distinctive bitter chemical taste. PCP can be mixed easily with dyes and turns up on the illicit drug market in a variety of tablets, capsules, and colored powders. It is normally abused in one of three ways: snorted, smoked, or ingested. For smoking, PCP is often applied to a leafy material such as mint, parsley, oregano, or marijuana.\n\nHealth Hazards\nPCP is addictive—its repeated abuse can lead to craving and compulsive PCP-seeking behavior. First introduced as a street drug in the 1960s, PCP quickly gained a reputation as a drug that could cause bad reactions and was not worth the risk. After abusing PCP once, many people will not knowingly abuse it again. Others attribute their continued abuse to feelings of strength, power, invulnerability, and a numbing effect on the mind. \n\nMany PCP abusers are brought to emergency rooms because of PCP overdose or because of the drug's unpleasant psychological effects. In a hospital or detention setting, these people often become violent or suicidal and are very dangerous to themselves and others. They should be kept in a calm setting and not be left alone.\n\nAt low to moderate doses, physiological effects of PCP include a slight increase in breathing rate and a pronounced rise in blood pressure and pulse rate. Breathing becomes shallow, and flushing and profuse sweating occur. Generalized numbness of the extremities and loss of muscular coordination also may occur. \n\nAt high doses of PCP, blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration drop. This may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, flicking up and down of the eyes, drooling, loss of balance, and dizziness. High doses of PCP can also cause seizures, coma, and death (though death more often results from accidental injury or suicide during PCP intoxication). High doses can cause symptoms that mimic schizophrenia, such as delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, disordered thinking, a sensation of distance from one's environment, and catatonia. Speech is often sparse and garbled.\n\nPeople who abuse PCP for long periods report memory loss, difficulties with speech and thinking, depression, and weight loss. These symptoms can persist up to a year after stopping PCP abuse. Mood disorders also have been reported. PCP has sedative effects, and interactions with other central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines, can lead to coma.

You are right it is killing everyone as well as destroying families. You have to understand something with this meth problem. This drug was being used heavily in war world 2. Methamphetamine was first synthesized in 1919 in Japan by the chemist A. Ogata. The method of synthesis was reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine.\n\nMeth was used by german soldiers to enhance there ability to fight a long battle. Now to this date our own military is using forms of this drug for our pilots doing bombing runs over Iraq and Afghan in the early stages of the war. Another problem is this stuff is so easy to make with your everyday household cleaners and effdirn. This has been getting alot of media coverage from a local level. But as far as national coverage your right not enough. I think by far if there was a name for pure evil..this would be it. I call it the devil drug.. Maybe in someways if the nation goes national with this they will expose our usage of this drug in our government. Maybe that is why there is not national coverage. The only thing we can do is work out of our communitys to warn kids and teens about the dangers of this drug. I know first hand what it can do because I am a former user of this drug. I know of what state that is using commericals to make a postive affect to stop the problem in there state. How ever it is not catching on in others. But believe that all the local police and task forces are working over time to help stop this problem.\n\nI can only hope and pray that something is gonna bust this thing wide open on a natioanl level. But there are many risks involved if our own government uses forms of this drug. This was a great question... I just hope many will take it as serouis are you.  =)
