Boys will be boys but c'mon! You're a fucking Officer of Marines! UPDATE!!! SCOPOLAMINE IS SERIOUS!

via Sputnik.

After a day spent at a business conference in the Colombian city last February, a pilot, a theater security cooperation planner and an exercise planner, all with the United States Marines, allegedly walked into a bar in an off-limits section of Bogota, solicited several sex workers and took the women back to their hotel rooms.

All three may now be charged with, at a minimum, "conduct unbecoming an officer" following a report that Marines Chief of Staff Colonel Michael Farrell wrote for Marine Brigadier General Kevin Iiams, the commander at the time of the incident, according to Stripes.com.

According to the Marine Corps report on the investigation obtained by the Miami Herald, the three officers must face "appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings."

In detailing the charges, the report observed that the three officers violated a 1 a.m. curfew, traveled to an area of the city forbidden to Marines, entered a local bar and solicited four sex workers, who they then took back to their hotel rooms.

One of the officers was documented as stopping off on the way back to their rooms to draw cash advances off of a US government travel card, according to Stripes.com.

Two of the officers later became unconscious in their room, in spite of, according to Farrell's report, being previously told about "the specific hazard associated with local nationals utilizing the drug scopolamine to incapacitate and rob their victims."

Jesus!  Fucking seriously?  Do you really need to have someone tell a fucking Officer of Marines the danger of dealing with strippers in a foreign land?  On top of that we're talking about fucking Colombia!  Yeah.  I know.  The women are HOT!  But it's fucking Colombia!!

Please let this be a fake news story!  Tell me these guys weren't this damn dumb!

Sidenote:  Why would you bring a stripper back to your motel room where you have secret materials?  If you're picking up hookers then you strip down to just your fucking ID and the money to pay for "services"...you don't take them back to your primary for fun and games, where you have your weapons, coms, documents etc.......that's what sleazebag hour motels are for! 

Sidenote 1:  This drug is some serious shit!  They call it the zombie drug.  Why?  Because while you're on it ... well fuck that ... check out what Huffington Post says about this insanity...

Bank account bone dry?
Have the sneaking suspicion you spent the evening in a zombie-like state shuffling from bank machine to bank machine at the behest of South American crime lords?
Dude on your couch eating Cap'n Crunch in your pajamas, casting devious stares in your direction?

Yup. Sounds like you may have been the unwitting recipient of a blast of 'devil's breath'.
Or, at least, that's the diabolical scenario health experts are warning about amid the apparent surge in popularity of a drug called scopolamine. Also known as burundanga. Best remembered by its infernal street name.
Or, apparently, not remembered at all.
Hailed in a recent Vice documentary as 'the world's scariest drug,' scopolamine is tasteless, odourless and has a reputation for being something of a 'zombie' drug -- meaning victims are still very much active while they're on it, remembering precious little of those activities the next day.
In 2012, there were nearly 1,200 cases of scopolamine and other 'zombie' drugs being used on unsuspecting targets, GlobalPost reports. Among the victims? Well-known politicians, foreign embassy staff and average Colombian citizens.
“They go out to party and then wake up two or three days later on a park bench,” Maria Fernanda Villota, a nurse at San Jose University Hospital in Bogota, told GlobalPost.
The hospital, she says, receives several scopolamine victims every week. “They arrive here without their belongings or their money.”
Last month, El Mundo reported on four women who fell prey to the Devil's Breath in isolated incidents -- each case was marked by the use of paper sheets, apparently, doused with an alkaloid from the plant. Once inhaled, everything goes a little... zombie.

Did you read that?  The drug can be placed on a paper sheet and you're dosed with it?  This stuff is crazy!  I need to dig into this but this sounds like a thief's dream drug.  You worry about nuclear war?  I worry about sick chemist that dream this shit up.

Oh and you can bet your last dollar that this will show up in the US if it isn't here already.
