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?
