Fort Hood was flooded with drugs back in the 1990s. I think about half of my basic training platoon that got sent there ended up chaptered out or awol in lieu of UCMJ action after drug charges. My room mate was a NARC for the CID. He went AWOL when he realized he was still going to jail despite narcing for them. I got all his gear. gotta LOL about that.

I thought it was just the generals. Looks like more of a witch hunt.

The late 90's was a pretty good time in civilian employment, so the quality of enlistments went down. My squadron had a about a 25% failure rate in first term enlistments. Mostly drugs, some criminal behavior.

No excuse for officers to be doing drugs, kick them out and recoup an appropriate cost for any education they got on the government dime.
