War on People

Dear Editor:
To show their commitment to the war on drugs, school children now dress like combat soldiers ("Clad in Camouflage for a Cause," October 25). How obscene.
The only legitimate use of military force is to protect citizens from violent aggressors - not to interfere with peaceful persons' choices of intoxicants. Celebrating militarized combat against personal liberty is both ugly and dangerous.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
