Rear Echelon Mother Folks had a different situation and unlimited access.

As far as the drug-supported mad, frenzied charge, a la WWI or the Chicoms coming across the Yalu, that would have been welcome. The little bastards were sneakier than that, resourceful and, contrary to Lee, very smart. After a while I came to believe the average Vietnamese combatant was smarter than the average US guy. I really don't know about their drug use but it would be interesting. I suspect the folks on both sides who had to rely upon their instincts and trust the person next to them didn't cotton to drugs at that time.
