Army losing 'battalion' a year to drugs...

...warns the BBC. The good news is that it hasn't affected their martial spirit -apparently the battalion is always first to volunteer for Aghanistan duty.

Boom, boom. Actually the importance of story is entirely lost on me, as I have no idea how large a battalion is. But give there is an automatic discharge for testing positive, and 769 soldiers were last year, that's a pretty hefty % of the army to lose each year.
