Wow, just wow. The potential for disaster here was mind-boggling. I'm not familiar with military justice but it seems this should have been considered 150 counts of aggravated assault and warranted longer than a 30-day sentence, not to mention the egregious level of "conduct unbecoming".

What a stupid thing to do! You should never get someone high without their knowledge, ESPECIALLY when they’re going to be firing guns.

She got off pretty easy in my opinion.

So many fascinating (and gob-smacking) ways people can be total idiots! I found this little tidbit buried way down my newsfeed yesterday while I was looking for soccer stuff for @Buzz Rules. I wonder if this kind of maleficence is common (and commonly kept under wraps) in our military? One would like to think that if 150 of our troops have been intentionally poisoned (or whatever the right word might be), it would have made a headline? I wonder if a few dozen or more of them had been maimed or killed during the artillery exercise, while the fried ukulele guy played on, would it also have been buried?

You could google some of the crazy things that happen in any one of the NATO members’ armed forces.

Well, let’s just say that a fairly large minority of those who join the military do so because they’re basically failures who suck at anything else.

Could be true, I guess, but it does sting some to have to acknowledge it. It doesn't seem like integrity is a prerequisite. She fully admitted to dosing them out of malice. Hooah!!
