Saying 'Yes' on the 'Have you ever used drugs?' recruitment question would put you in the 'Too dumb' camp.

  I would disagree. If you work in any position that requires a clearance or will at any point (the further your career goes the higher the probability) it's far easier to be honest out the door and skip any headaches. People you think are your friends or colleagues, will dime you out when OPM sends someone to interview them. Let's also not forget that OPM will interview people that don't like you. Anyone with a clearance can actually request their adjudication documents and you'll see things you would never have expected.

  On immigration forms you have to say, in one question, whether you have ever used, possessed, distributed or sold illegal drugs. Basically asking people to lie, I guess. I don’t know how it is phrased in army recruitment, but if they are willing to take the fat and stupid, they might also allow the honest.

    It's not asking people to lie, it's because they can kick people out for lying, but they can't kick people out for having used drugs.

    The recruiter will tell you to cross that line out and fill it in correctly.
