I'm a veteran of the US Air Force. There is not a single person I'd met that didn't advocate for the decriminalization of psychedelics and pot in the current and long lineage of veterans that I've met in my time. Why they title of the article is trying to frame it as if veteran's haven't been widely outspoken about this since the Vietnam war is beyond me.

> At first glance, former military personnel might seem unlikely champions for illegal, mind-altering drugs that many Americans associate with the countercultural peaceniks of the 1960s and 1970s. But veterans have become powerful emissaries for psychedelics across the political spectrum.

What?

I had the exact same reaction. It's like the NY Times is stuck in the past and totally out of touch with the present, and hung up on stereotypes and ideological generalizations that aren't very accurate.
