Okay fellow Ugandan
I will hire for you an email administrator next
week, do not worry. I have just logged a request to the world bank to finance
that project. Do not worry and when we are at it you will get even a debt relief
on top of an email administrator.

Mulindwa,
I
don't know what you do the whole day but allow me to vent one honest complain
that you are really overwehlming my email account with repeats and old news.
In the process of deleting numerous unread email from you, I have often
deleted important messages as well. Or, am I the only one offended..? Sorry
country folks..!!
In
good faith,
Stressed US Troops
In Iraq 'Turning
To Drugs'
By Thomas Harding in Baghdad
The Telegraph -
UK
7-23-5
- Two years into the occupation of Iraq the menace
of drug abuse appears to be afflicting American troops.
-
- Aware of the debilitating effect drugs had on the
morale and effectiveness of GIs in the Vietnam War, the authorities
are attempting to stifle a repeat in Iraq.
-
- Aside from random urine tests and barrack room
searches, commanders have asked their troops to inform on
colleagues.
-
- In the past month a soldier has been arrested for
selling cocaine and two per cent of the troops from one brigade have
been charged with drug and alcohol abuse.
-
- According to US army figures, out of the 4,000 men
of the 256th Brigade Combat Team, 53 faced alcohol-related charges
and 48 were charged with drug offences.
-
- Since the overthrow of Saddam's regime the borders
that have been so porous for insurgents have been equally open for
heroin and hash smugglers from Afghanistan and Iran providing a
cheap market for troops. With colleagues being killed or wounded on
a daily basis, some US soldiers have turned to drugs to escape the
horrors of fighting insurgents.
-
- In one case, according to Stars and Stripes, the
in-house US forces newspaper, Sgt Michael Boudreaux was found with
drugs, four bottles of whiskey and 22 videos of Iraqi pornography.
He received a seven month confinement, was demoted to private and
given a bad conduct discharge.
-
- In another case, Pte Emily Hamilton told a court
martial that she used a hashish pipe belonging to a colleague
because "it helped me go right to sleep". She was given a year's
confinement and a bad conduct discharge.
-
- "Some of these young soldiers just can't handle
the stress," said Capt Christopher Krafchek, a military defence
lawyer.
-
- The majority of drug-users are in their teens or
early 20s, and sometimes get their drugs from local Iraqis while on
patrol in Baghdad.
- Troops caught in possession of illegal substances
are either jailed, demoted or discharged from the forces.
