美國軍方對從伊拉克和阿富汗返回的士兵“過度用藥”表達關切，正值越來越多濫用藥物的報告在部隊中。
"We're very concerned about the panoply and the number of drugs that are being used," the army's top medical officer, Lieutenant General Eric Schoomaker, said.
“我們非常關注全副盔甲和正在使用藥物的數目，”軍隊的最高級醫務人員埃里克斯庫麥克爾中將說。
The general surgeon added that the military is closely monitoring which drugs -- and how many -- are being prescribed to soldiers returning from combat duty.
一般外科醫生補充，軍方正密切監察那種藥物 - 和多少 - 被處方給從戰鬥任務返回的士兵。
Since the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan, psychiatric and medical prescriptions for troops have climbed dramatically.

A Pentagon survey has also said that some 15% of active duty soldiers abuse prescription drugs.

This is while some medications, such as anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, or sleeping pills, are being prescribed right on the front lines.
