Original Long War: Supply-Side Strategy in the War on Drugs

Abstract

For nearly forty years, the United States has waged the "War on Drugs" with a supply-side emphasis in terms of both resources and vision. As the unrelenting demand of this "War" continues its reliance on military and law enforcement assets, a foreseeable future of extremely high global demand for these resources necessitates a national-level review of the sagacity of the supply-side effort. Indeed, with no end in sight, perhaps there exists a fundamental mismatch of strategy to exigency. Regardless, government responsibility for vigilance of America's precious resources demands a national-level comprehension of its long-term strategy for the War on Drugs.
