Incredibly, the United States has spent more than $1 trillion and conducted more than 50,000 SWAT raids a year in a bid to get the growing threat of illegal drugs under control.
This international effort has been bloody and unyielding. Drug use rates have not declined and drugs are more available — and cheaper — than ever before.
At the same time, the drug war has resulted in a long list of unintended consequences: militarization of law enforcement, the imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of non-violent people, and more than 100,000 homicides in Mexico.
“America’s Longest War” tells the heart-wrenching stories of some of the countless victims of the drug war and points to viable alternative approaches to America’s drug policies. This program contains graphic material and viewer discretion is advised.
“America’s Longest War” adds to the diverse programming featured on Newsmax TV, now carried in more than 40 million U.S. satellite and cable homes.
