Some 17 soldiers and five other people allegedly smuggled or used synthetic marijuana via military mail.

    I have no idea how “big” drug busts on US bases need to be to be news worthy but the details of this bust seem underwhelming:

    Joint raids by South Korean police and the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division found 77g (2.7oz) of synthetic cannabis, more than 4kg of “mixed liquids” used for vaping and a total of $12,850 (£10,440) in cash at the 22 suspects’ homes.

      I think it’s newsworthy that the host nation was involved rather than the US military handling it internally.

      Why are they reporting on the cash bit?

      So in each house, they found about $550?

      What a fucking a joke South Korea.
