Early indications are that more died during the last year (Feb 2022 to Feb 2023). Those are staggering numbers. The U.S. Government built a war memorial to the U.S. military personnel slain in that conflict. When you learn that more than a million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses in the last twenty years then you begin to understand the gravity of this threat. That is more than twice as many that the U.S. lost in World War II. And what is the domestic reaction? A big yawn.
I wonder when Americans will have had enough and then proceed to "replenish the tree of liberty."
The founding fathers have atleast foreseen this moons ago.
