The United States has declared "War" on many things over the years including poverty and crime. Is the use of the word "war" an appropriate term to use when attempting to curb or reduce social problems in a society such as poverty and drug use?
A lot of inmates incarcerated in American's jails and prisons are detained because of drug and alcohol related crimes.
