Drugs and Wars

The culture of using drugs in military to enhance soldiers ' performances during the war were supported by the government through many propaganda and advertisements. The government provided those drugs to armies even though they knew that they were dangerous and claimed that they were for the sake of the country; however, when those drugs have shown to create severe side effects in citizen's eyes, the government decided to correct the wrong by supporting the anti-drugs campaigns and said that those drugs are illegal. The contradiction and the control of the law by the government are what I am interested in and I wonder how much authority the government have over us and are we only the tools in the government's eyes?
