US Military Hauling Dope AGAIN?

Argentina is accusing the US military of attempting to smuggle arms, drugs and spy equipment into the country under the pretext of a police training course.
The US military disputed the claims, denying an attempt to smuggle equipment into Argentina.
Argentine authorities claim to have seized nearly 1,000 cubic feet of undeclared items ranging from machine guns and ammunition to drugs and spy equipment. Argentine officials said the items were found on a US Air Force C-17 cargo plane along with material for a training course a US Special Forces team had been invited to give to the federal police.

US Air Force C-17 seized over Argentine drug smuggling accusations

This fits a previous pattern exposed by the late Gary Webb and his Dark Alliance series.

When I saw this thread title, my first thought was "Well, Air Force One and Marine One have to haul the President around, its their job".

US Dept. of Energy is missing it's drug stash so you don't think........Hmmmm. Hey wait a minute, why would the Dept. of Energy need such drugs on hand and why would they need to test them? I've no doubt we can trust them and I'd bet in their core mission statement is where such actions are completely justified.

And now for the news!

It is possible the C-17 was a humanitatian act by the US Military to help the economic wellbeing of Afghanistan farmers and bring them into the 21st century global free trade market. Maybe the military has gone from pulling guard duty "in the field" to providing global logisitics. Now that's winning hearts and "minds!"

So the heroin dealers are telling their customers, buy and "be all you can be!"

Probably depends on it's intended use.

WKmac's article said:
The foreign ministry claimed the seized materials were "for intercepting communications, various sophisticated and powerful GPS devices, technological elements containing codes labeled secret, and a trunk full of expired medicine."

Special Forces Medical Sergeant duties

So there is the intended use and again I ask when did medicine become known as dope? It's not that complicated I'm just trying to understand a point of view. Also maybe you could explain what a powerful GPS device is while you are at it. :dont_know::rolleyes2:

Opiates can be very powerful street drugs or extremely beneficial in the medical field all coming from the poppy harvest. Where do the transports drop their cargo? My guess would be that the street value would be hundreds of times above any medical market value.
