Speeding?

I remember reading an article about a F15E commander who talked about issuing and using amphetamines during DS1 although I heard the USAF stopped doing it in 1993 for the reasons stated above.

Given the events of this US/Canadian friendly fire incident I hope they will be banned again. There was quite a long discussion on this board about the incident. I don't accept the argument that if they were issued amphetamines they cannot be held responsible for their actions - what is the difference between dropping bombs when high and drunk driving, virtually none I would suggest. If they suspected they were impaired to fly they should have pulled themselves off flight status.

I wonder how much of this is about trying to get the two clowns who dropped the bombs on the Canadians off the hook
