there are some awesome youtube vids on it; I like qxir's take as he tells it from the prospective of the drugged soldier.

I didn't know Finns were fascist. I know they were allied with Germany to defend themselves against USSR, but that's not quite the same, now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotic_People%27s_Movement
Yes, there has been fascist and other far-right movements in Finland. Did Aimo Koivunen belong to such a group?

Qxir's summary is probably the best I've seen. Link below.

It really wasn't a rampage, more of a methed up fever dream in which he somehow evaded death at the hands of the russians/nature/meth. Alot.

This was also a thing in Forces of Corruption for Empire at War. "Stims" in Star Wars is just meth.
It's not "just" meth, it's durameth; made from Transpari-shock tabs & dura-motor oil, in a cleaned can from that blue milk shit Luke drinks.

This guy Star Wars-es^^

Those are the eyes of a man who has yet to come down fully.
The thing is, that’s the before photo. I’m pretty sure the landline fuckered up his face a bit.

Those are the eyes of a man who blinked during the exposure and his eyes were painted in.

Dredging through war histories if they're granular enough, random dudes turn into Rambo for a day with surprising frequency.
MoH citations are a good place to look. (Or foreign equivalent) Korean war dude who clubbed a dozen-ish enemies with his entrenching tool.
GadenKerensky
Krieg approves.
HairyBamBam
WW2 Finnish soldiers would find Rambo cute. Simo Hayha killed more people with a damn hunting rifle.
The first one was fine. commando against small town cops isn't going end well. but the rest of "series" is...embarassing.

Rambo 3 is him teaming up Usama Bin Laden. They had to change the dedication at the end of it. Good times.

He looks like dash from the increidbles
Northwindlowlander
And he was Finnish in the first place which is already a major step towards insanity
I had a methhead neighbor that called me in the middle of the night b/c they were convinced alien eggs were hatching inside of them.
letsdosciencetogether
The Wikipedia article shows this is way less cool in reality. Dude overdosed, had a short burst of energy then passed out.
1 He took them all and had a short burst of energy, but then entered into a state of delirium, and lost consciousness. He remembered waking
4 So he accidentally set fire to a Russian camp by setting off a landmine. Would be cool if true, but think of the meth photos you've seen
2 up the following morning, separated from his patrol and having no supplies. In the following days, he escaped Soviet forces once again.
5 and then tell me you believe those folks became elite warriors after overdosing? He survived an overdose behind lines, that's the story.
L3NTON
The meth of today isn't the same as the meth of yesterday. Germany handed these things out like candy during the Blitzkrieg.
stondeed
Loafed-beans in the post pretty much sums it up correctly. Read an article of finnish army mag from ~1960 where they interviewed him 1/2
But yes, he did not fight russians during the trip but I think he encountered them. Could be delusions of course :D pretty wild anyways
3 was injured by a land mine which also set fire to a nearby Russian camp, and laid in a ditch for a week waiting for help.

The problem is that some drugs are too good.
The dose makes the poison, or the cure, as it were.

And if you do them people think that you're cool.

Drugs were always good.
Remember kids: The war on drugs was about the people groups who used the drugs, not the drugs themselves.

Amphetamines are highly addictive. Good for a one-time emergency during war maybe, but less for work or recreation
leeian44101
Not according to my doctor lol
MiCasaEsMufasa
I'm gonna tell Drugs you said that
waytoofaded
Adderall makes me the best version of myself. Wish I knew a way to get it prescribed instead of having to buy it from somebody.
There is an awfully good recent example why drugs with addictive character should not be prescribed too liberally
zimirken
That depends on the drug. Side effects, tolerance, etc. Nicotine is highly addictive, but it doesn't mess you up like opiates do.

confanity
It's reaaalllly not about hippies, trust me. Most of the drug war was basically about race, and finding reasons to jail nonwhite people.
oh yeah, I forgot Brilliant, if only those asshats made the connection that racism has now cost us the dev of medicine we direly need today.
If US history proves anything, it's that racists will gladly harm themselves if they believe it harms The Other more.
