It’s the oxy effect. Oxycotin is an opiate, people got hooked on it starting with legitimate use, prescription mills kept people hooked. Now the fed gov and state govs have been putting a lot of pressure on the mills, it’s getting harder and harder to feed an oxy habit. But an oxy habit IS a heroin habit in disguise, so guess what people turn to. Only heroin strengths are a lot more random, a lot harder to control input, people OD.
It’s not to tough to imagine guys who spent their life in extremely hard physical exertion might have been prescribed some serious painkillers in their life, and used them long enough to get an oxy habit. Now they can’t get their oxy anymore and they follow the same path as everybody else. You’ve got to figure any ex-SEAL whose doing guard duty on a container ship probably isn’t on a straight an narrow path.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Soros drug policy from the 90’s is now in full effect, and nobody is questioning how this is getting in, heroin isn’t produced in the US, and all the media doesis repeat the stupid antidote of Narcan, obviously somebody has stock in the company.
It is all BS. Americans are clueless. Remember when there was a concern about cocaine? Decades ago it was confiscated before even getting into the country on a daily basis. There wasn’t nearly the problems and supplies as there is now with heroin. How is it that the DEA, Homeland Security, et seem to have ZERO accountability with the toxins getting into the country?
There was a NY Times article about the case that said both men complained of the boredom of guard duty on the ship.
That's a temporary job for a young man, not a regular job for a normal, married man in his 40s.
Guys with those skills and clean records can get pretty plum security assignments on land in fancy cities for high rollers.
I'll also say this: for every actual SEAL there are maybe 50 guys pretending to be former SEALs.
