this is a joke, yes?

the ingestion or inhalation of some substance decades ago determining
fitness for clearance?  or is it just "illegal" substances?  or
"federally scheduled" and abused substances?  what about the guy
abusing prescription meds?  what about "medical marijuana" legal at
the state level, but not th fed?  etc, etc.

a blanket "used drugs == shunned" assertion seems rediculous... i'd
say the mental and health effects of years of captivity and torture
have more relevance on fitness than nearly any casual drug use (legal
or not) decades past.
