The first answer is right. The rest should be ashamed of themselves as slayer fans. HANNEMAN was a ww2 buff as when he was a kid his father gave him a bunch of German medals and other war paraphernalia. Drug induced warfare refers to the Germans being jacked on Pervitin (meth).

The basis of this song is about the gang violence of South LA, its' dark history over the last 30-or so years up until now. Plus, most gang violence around America, and how it's affecting people. It possibly could have been a war song, something of a 'Nam nature, but because of the "Drug-induced warfare," and "rivalry and retribution," it's leaning towards the anger between gangs and their bad blood.
