Does this surprise you; more American's have died from drug over doses, including prescription drugs, in the last 15 years than ALL of America's wars exclusive of the Civil War. 600,000 American's died in the Civil war, something near 600,000 have died in all the other wars, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc, in TOTAL.
In the last 15 years, some 600,000 American's, including 52,000 in 2015 alone, have died from drug overdoses. 2/3's of that is pharmaceutical heroin and street heroin. Street heroin is the smaller part of that.

More dead American's, mostly from pharmaceuticals, in the last 15 years than ALL our wars in the last 150 combined.
War on drugs or war on ourselves? No monuments. No memorials. No holidays or parades for remembrance. Just our dead. More than the number who died for our 'freedoms'.
