It does not make perfect sense. Having your soldiers addicted to meth and crashing hard after the meth wears off is not conducive to effective warfare.

You do realise that USAF pilots were using "pep" pills during the first gulf war?

[Of pilots who were surveyed, 65% used amphetamines during the deployment to the SWA AOR and/or during Operation Desert Storm. Pilots who used amphetamines in air operations described it as "occasional." The most frequent indications for amphetamine use were "aircrew fatigue" and "mission type." Of pilots who used amphetamines, 58-61% considered their use beneficial or essential to operations. ] (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7661838/)

You think the were more restrained in the 30's?
