March 30, 2009, 11:18am (report abuse)well, well, well. Methamphetamines a problem are they? I wonder how many people know that the air force uses them for their pilots for long missions, like the B-2 crews that flew from Whiteman AFB to Iraq to drop ONE load of ordinance and then return in 36 hours non stop. Not to mention the fighters that fired up a wedding, and other blue on blue incidents.
