"West Point cadets on ventilators after buying fentanyl-laced cocaine"

...Hey, uh, news dudes, dudettes, and thembies? /Maybe the story is that West Point cadets were buying cocaine in the first place,/ not just the fact they got hospitalized by tainted drugs. Maybe, just maybe, journalism should be asking tough questions instead of trying to taste what the military had for breakfast by /tonguing its metaphorical asshole./

Yes, it sucks that some folks were put in the hospital by tainted drugs, but again - maybe there's a story explaining *why West Point cadets were buying cocaine in the first fucking place* and just maybe that story deserves to be collated and spread.

@LexYeen I want to ask that headline writer just how much worse it all might have been if, instead of merely buying the drugs, they were to actually _use_ them.
