Best Answer

Yes, by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the individual service regulations, US service members are required to obey not only US Federal law, but also local laws and regulations, in addition to UCMJ and Service Regulations (Army Regs, Navy Regs, etc.). So, no, a US soldier would not be able to legally smoke marijuana openly or use any drug that is illegal in the US anywhere, public or otherwise; and, no service members, other than perhaps Marines who could be attached to the embassy, are permanently stationed in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

How many people were killed in the Cold War?

382 American military personnel were killed in direct combat with Soviet, North Korean, Yugoslavian, Chinese, Cuban, and other Communist guerrilla forces outside the Vietnam & Korean wars between 1945 - 1991. Additionally, thousands more were killed while stationed overseas and training for potential conflict with Communist bloc forces. In the Federal Republic of Germany, over 2300 American servicemen died between 1965 - 1975 alone. It is impossible to know how many personnel from the opposing forces were killed. But in addition to enemy action, friendly fire, and accidents, those attempting to defect were routinely killed.
