You bring up an interesting point. "Winning" the War on Drugs doesn't mean that all those enforcers go away to write their memoirs and join each other in bars to talk about the good old days. There's a whole infrastructure -- courts, police, private contractors, manufacturers and salesmen -- entire bloody skyscrapers full of policy and bureaucracy that simply will not go idle just because the war was declared "won" and it's time to go home.

The immediate aftermath of a war can be just as horrifying as the conflict itself. And we know that it's important to plan the results you want out of a war (because somebody sure is).

So what do idle and technically unskilled hands /do/ for a living? My guess is that they won't change job descriptions very much, and since opportunities for helping Grandma across the street are relatively limited, they'll just be enforcing different stuff.

What stuff is that going to be?
