DRUG CZAR BARRY McCAFFREY, a retired four-star general, said neither his
West Point education nor his experience in the Vietnam and Persian Gulf
Wars prepared him for the devastating drug war he battled for the last five
years.

"I've seen more misery in this job, more human destruction than I did in
combat," said McCaffrey, who leaves his job soon. "There are 5 million
chronically addicted Americans. Each year, probably on the order of 52,000
die from some cause related to drug abuse."

That is more Americans than were killed during the entire nine years of the
war in Vietnam.
