Why would you assume that someone who uses drugs would do so while on duty?

The person I replied to said that could "open the door" for people who were chaptered for a DUI to come back in and therefore explained that ADA doesn't apply to the military. It applies to the civilian world.

Now do you know how drug use works? I dated someone who at one time got into meth and other ridiculous drugs like that. You don't have to be using it at that moment to be high. If someone is on drugs, whether it be marijuana, meth, coke, etc, if they use it a lot, that stuff stays in the body's system for a long time. So let's say they go on a meth bend over the weekend, or they drink every night, you think that won't affect their body? And are you serious to suggest that people on duty AREN'T doing drugs or drinking? HA! I know plenty of soldiers who would get drunk during the week and show up to formation smelling like alcohol. I had a soldier who decided to take our other spc at the time to get drunk for his birthday on a Tuesday night and I got a 2 am wake up call. So yeah, people get drunk and do drugs while on duty I fully believe that and know it.
