The Golden Triangle is the second leading producer of the world's heroin (Afghanistan leads). The Republic of the Union of Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a major player. Ironically, a militia group, called the United Wa State Army operates as the back bone to the heroin trade. If one were to cripple the heroin production in the Golden Triangle, they would need to eliminate the United Wa State Army. Also, those banks that launder drug revenues need to be closed down. I would look as these heroin producers as no better than producers of chemical weapons of mass destruction. Bomb them. Bomb them good. Burn the opium fields and use bio-engineering to create mutant opium plants that are infertile.
AS for JBLM in Tacoma, Wa, I would deploy drug sniffing dogs in a surprise hit, to check out these transport planes. Even if they were empty, the trace scent would still be there. Then I would look at the records of where the planes have been and arrest all those who had responsibility for them. The commander of the base would have to step down if traces of drugs--or drugs--were found.
