NAVY'S DRUG POLICY NEEDS A SECOND LOOK

Re: "Testimony: Cocaine common on ship," Aug. 14.

Lt.-Cmdr. Gerry Pash states that "drug use is incompatible with 
service in the Canadian Forces." If that is so, then the navy's 
response to this "scandal" is more than a bit hypocritical.

Doesn't he realize that alcohol is a drug, and is certainly more 
impairing of a user's functions, if not more harmful and destructive 
in general?
