So our horrible, scary military...

Despite the Globe and Mail's ominous... "Military drug tests find one in 20 using" headline... is actually about half as likely to be baked... as, say... your neighbours?
And, the military notes, the results are still lower than the drug usage rates in the general Canadian population. Col. Noonan said the use of illicit drugs in the general Canadian population is about 12 or 14 per cent.

“So we are less than half of the prevalence rate of the Canadian population.”
