New revelations have surfaced in a drug scandal case festering at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, involving a criminal ring of about ten midshipmen, according to Fox News.

The United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) was briefed on the illegal activity three months ago when a fellow midshipman contacted authorities about a rogue group of midshipmen selling drugs on campus.

Current reports estimate ten midshipmen were part of the elaborate scheme to supply midshipmen throughout the Naval Academy with powerful drugs including cocaine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and Ketamine. Fox News specifies the criminal ring used Bitcoins to purchase the drugs on the dark web then distributed the product throughout campus.

Sources from within the academy tell Fox News that roughly two-dozen midshipmen are under investigation. No formal or pending charges have been brought against any midshipmen as the investigation expands.

Yes, VxH, America's elite.

10 or 20 mishipmen out of a Brigade of 4000, 1 or 2% bad apples - bright, elite, fit bad apples, same as anywhere else.

Example: LF has quite a few decent, thoughtful posters. Then there's you.

After hundreds of years of nothing but excellence,the service academies were forced to take affirmative action cadets,and it's been nothing but one scandal after another ever since. Remember the car theft ring from a few years ago?

Seems like there was a major cheating scandal and also a case of PC officers assigned there giving high grades to cadets that didn't deserve them,too.

Or maybe even selling passing grades. I didn't pay that much attention because I expected it from the beginning,and that was a couple of years ago.

This is the kind of crap you have to expect with you base admissions on demographics instead of excellence,

Well,to be fair,John McLunatic was also a USNA graduate,so scum did occasionally skip through earlier. His daddy and granddaddy having been Admirals had a lot to do with that,and shame on the people who ran the USMA in those days for allowing that to happen.

The 10 is only 0.25 percent. The entry screening will never be perfect. But fortunately the bad ones and the weak ones are usually culled by graduation day. The attrition rate at the Naval Academy was 14 percent last year.

So from the Naval Academy, America wound up last year with 768 Navy ensigns, 259 Marine Corps second lieutenants and two interservice commissions into the U.S. Air Force.

You go, Navy ...

10 out of what, 4,000 or so? Pretty small percentage, I'd say.

...a fellow midshipman contacted authorities about a rogue group of midshipmen selling drugs on campus.

Which is why the Academy has a strict honor code. This Cadet did good by alerting authorities.

Not really earth-shaking news although the Bitcoin angle is interesting.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that the dealers are black.

Many years ago, I worked in a corporate HQ. One of the secondary poobahs in the engineering section was a high-flying West Point graduate. Socially adept, handsome, athletic. About half of the women swooned over him, the other half didn't like him. The men all hated him for being a sneaky backstabbing weasel. And everyone seemed quite happy when one day, he got fired over something that seemed quite minor. (I had full access to the most confidential files they held so I did know the cause for firing him, at least what they wrote on paper.) So the military didn't keep him around and neither did corporate America.

I imagine that West Point has its fair share of weasels and assholes, like most any other place. And the job of the officer corps is to keep the worst ones from advancing through the ranks.

Yup,and traditionally,they have been "legacy cadets". Their fathers or grandfathers were flag rank officers.

And the job of the officer corps is to keep the worst ones from advancing through the ranks.

The one example I know about was a Captain I had the misfortune to meet that was a sadistic sociopath that was totally unfit for any kind of command position. He would hand out Article 15's to privates that didn't have a shirt pocket buttoned,and would try to court-martial people for being 1 day AWOL. One of h is favorite tricks was to sit in his air-conditioned office smoking cigars,and when he would see someone walking across the street from the motor pool to the barracks,he would wait for them to get close and then open the door and throw the cigar down on the street and order them to pick it up and dispose of it.

EVERYBODY in the company had nothing but total contempt for him,including the platoon leaders and the XO.

He knew it,too. The company deployed twice while I was assigned to it,and he stayed back at Bragg both times and sent his XO to command in his absence.

I tell you true,if he had ever deployed to a hazardous zone with a troop command,he would have been dead within a week.

How the army handled that was they released him from his command and sent him to JAG school,with a delay for him to get a law degree. It was a fit for everybody. Nobody could ever hope to get a more viscous and determined prosecutor,and he would never have a troop command position again.

I suppose they did something similar with other "legacies". There weren't that many of them and it was easy to find places for them where they couldn't do much harm. Now there are just too many AA people in uniforms to find places to put them where they would be harmless.

Today - NOT. SO. MUCH.

Maybe they should've stuck with loosing the football games and maintaining something resembling character and honor.

According to one of the former L.I.F.E.R. cadre members I talked to, the troubles associated with Operation Gridiron were ALL the local newspaper's fault... because the Colorado Springs Gazette had "an agenda" against the Academy.

I'm no big fan of the Gazette - but THAT sounded like complete bullshyte.

And that was when I went and found SSGT Enos', document - and read his account of just how big a Cluster Frack was running behind the "conservative" facade over at USAF Dominionists-R-Us Academy.

And then last fall, the Dyke in Command there and her 3 Star stooge ordered 5000 cadets to attention and told them "ACCEPT DIVERSITY - or GET OUT".

That was in response to a FAKE hate crime.

https://www.google.com/search? q=fake+hate+crime+USAFA

Did they apologize to the cadets for that false accusation? {crickets crickets cricket} Nope.

Just another incident documenting the true character of the elite "leadership" running the farm these days.

...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

My classmate, football player Napoleon McCallum, had to do his naval service before going on to play pro-ball.

David Robinson, the basketball player, was allowed to do reduced service.

Elite athletes won't go to school at the academies if they can't go play afterwards, and the attention they draw to the academy - including the alumni goodwill and contributions that come from playing great games, and the general goodwill of the public, more than pays for the cost of one academy education - in the estimation of the senior military personnel making the decision.

You obviously don't agree with their assessment. It seems to outrage you.

I do agree with their assessment, and regard it with a shoulder shrug. The Navy is not finding it hard to fill officer ranks, and every one of these pro- athletes who has come through there has generated a lot more publicity and alumni excitement - and contributions - than regular graduates. You use your assets in a way that best favors the Navy, and that may include letting some of them go a bit early in order to reap greater advantages for the academy than simply forcing some individual to be another drone.
