Sure, it will. But do you have anything to back up the race of the individuals? Moreover, do you have anything to support that black service members are not being separated for drug use? I see it happen, so know the notion is a false one.

Edit: Axel Giovany Casseus, 21, of Lauderhill, was arrested for selling the drugs to one of the cadets.

Cadets at the Academies are not immune to misadventures. Sad to hear these folks took such a foolish and dangerous path. Hope they all fully recover, but they will all be out of West Point.

Not all of the cadets fit that description, sometimes all it takes is for your parents to know a senator or congresscritter. I got my nomination the hard way- by enlisting and getting noticed for the right reasons.

Thanks for update. I wonder if they are going to arrest/charge the cadets when they are all released from the hospital, too.

Tragic and sad.

But this is the asymmetric warfare being waged by China - who is the fentanyl 'connection'.

Kill as many US youths and in this case, soldiers, as possible. Undermine and weaken from within via non-traditional means - here drugs.

Wake up.

Not shocking. Why do people think all military personnel are saints?
