[release]Military police are investigating claims that British soldiers may have trafficked heroin from Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Defence said they were aware of "unsubstantiated" claims that troops were using military aircraft to ship the drug out of the country.
The inquiry is focusing on British and Canadian service personnel at airports in Camp Bastion and Kandahar.
Security has been tightened, with additional sniffer dogs being used as part of the crackdown at the bases.
An MoD Spokeswoman said: "We are aware of these allegations. Although they are unsubstantiated, we take any such reports very seriously and we have already tightened our existing procedures both in Afghanistan and in the UK, including through increasing the use of trained sniffer dogs.
"We regret any inconvenience this causes to our service personnel. Any of our people found to be engaged in trafficking of illegal narcotics will feel the full weight of the law."[/release]
So it's basically a rumour?
Government conspiracy.
If this is true, Britain is really fucking up lately.

But it's a claim.
I bet they are smuggling it in coffins
A few British troops smuggle heroin - "No, it's a lie. Just a rumor don't believe it."
A few US troops smuggle Heroin - "OH MY GOD the US sucks! Just goes to show how incompetent they are!"
I never thought about this, but that's bloody genius.
We cut off fingers and the brit's have a drug problem.

We yell " Mothafucka" during shooting excercises.
Not a good sign
These guys are every addict's Heroins
Drugs are a pretty big problem in the british army, something like 500 soldiers are thrown out every year for failing drugs tests. For an army of 200,000 - 300,000 thats a pretty large number.
Stop the fucking presses the--Oh it's just the [i]British[/i] Army.
these are the people that are supposed to be stamping out terrorism?
But U.S. troops grow it...

This isn't news.
[QUOTE=Wolfie13;24785782]This isn't news.[/QUOTE]
So then it is common knowledge that British Troops smuggle Heroin?
Or are you saying it because it is, basically, a rumor?

It's true. Alot of people around here think that the US is the only country with flaws.
Britan has flaws too you know. Along with every other country you can name.

There is nothing to suggest that they are. Sorry, my best friend has joined the army and my cousin's been serving for the past two years, maybe I am biased to think that the idea of soldiers smuggling heroin in any sort of organized way is totally fucking ridiculous.

I await rebuttal.
Jeez, why cant the greatest empire in the world keep it's troops in line?! They're all blood thirsty coke fiends...
After the Falklands, some squaddies shipped a fucking Dassulat Mirage fighter jet back via cargo ship, heroin doesn't seem beneath them.
if the troops were female it would be heroines smuggling heroin
Fuck off news outlets. If it isn't "substantiated" (read: Actually has evidence backing it) then don't fucking put it to paper.
BBC, you used to be cool. Why must you resort to stupid fear mongering and rumor spreading? You don't care about ratings. You don't need viewers. That is what makes you great. And yet you choose to spew bullshit nowadays. What happened to you?
[QUOTE=lulzbocks;24785899]OMG look how untrained and terrible these troops are UK is the reason for the whole war![/QUOTE]
I know right? You would think they could show a little professionalism, jeez. The whole British army is probably high.
Good for them. :v:
Americans smuggling heroin: Stupid fuckers, they are supposed to be fighting a war!
British people smuggling heroin: It's just a rumor.
