1. The argument that soldiers are going to do drugs anyways isn't a good reason to provide a weekly cocaine ration.
2. I don't think all of these bases have a nearby casino.
3. Lowering the activation energy for going to the slots will increase use of the slots. If I had a magic tap that soda and beer came out of at my house, I'd be drinking more soda and beer. Despite having a corner store on the other side of the street.
The military should be lowering the activation energy for less destructive past-times, instead.

When Canada made pot legal, their military went through a debate about whether it should be sold on bases. They already provide alcohol on bases, even on ships. Why not pot? But I have not heard of any slot machines on Canadian bases.
