As of 2021, there were 6 service academy players on NFL rosters.
6
I don't think there's a mass exodus of service men to athletics rather than the foxhole from the academies.

If they go transexual, maybe Biden will step in and give them a pardon.

Lets just say their morale compass was severely fuuucked up and they made bad choices "experimenting" with coke. And they should not be punished beyond what happened to them and being kicked outta the point is not a option they should have to suffer.
Where is everyone's compassion in this matter??? 🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣 There is a penalty for being that stupid. When you receive a gift, you don't piss on it.

There may be only six wearing NFL jerseys, Teal, but how many academy football players who failed to do so are now wearing uniforms? Or were they simply released from their commitment? That's the real problem here: all those very limited officer slots wasted because the academies recruited for athletics rather than military duty.

Saw a blurb somewhere where a cop opened a trunk that was full of fentanyl and was overcome by just the fumes. Paramedics brought him back. Thank the Chico's and the cartels for doing their dirty work but but the Climate is the most important thing facing us. Don't blame this incident on the cartels. You buy a 1000cc sportbike, drive a back country road at 150mph, it ain't Grannys fault you end up "road pizza" when she pulls out with you 300yds away around the corner. These nitwits decided to run way faster than good sense allows. As bad as the cartels are, they are only part cause. They are also part symptom. Without the demand, they wouldn't exist. Demand is also symptom and cause. The cartels are only cause in that they are so efficient that they have increases supply and pushed price down. Ain't no one making anyone take this stuff. This ^^^^^^^^^^ in spades. Just like it’s not a gunmaker’s fault when some bozo misuses their product. It’s called personal responsibility. Totally agree.

I've never heard of more than 2 or 3 in any given year ask. Some given a deferment, some not. I've never heard of any being let out completely - as in they never serve in some capacity if it doesn't come true. If it does come true and they have a long career or whatever - I believe they chalk it up to "marketing/recruiting" for the services.

Maybe they should have avoided recreational drug use.

Cue the "just let the junkies die" chorus. No problem w/that. Unfortunately, first responders seem to be at risk now. Probably not. A first responder will not resuscitate without a barrier in place. Blood borne pathogens, you know. Resuscitate? Oh so mouth to mouth is the only way to come in contact with fentanyl? Go buy a clue.. I suspect you have fewer clues than I. If a trained first responder is properly using PPE to to prevent transfer of blood borne pathogens, he will also be pretty well protected from transfer of drugs.

Sic em girls Most all the people I've known that had a problem with "non-partakers" of mind altering substances had a problem and the sober folks made them uncomfortable.

I bet the tough guys here would be begging me to save their grandkids if they were od'ing.
No no...supposed to just let them die.
Most of us tough guys raised our kids to know better, as our kids also raised our grandkids. I did have the advantage that my kids got to watch my cousin burn his brain to dust over about two years with meth.

Jim, all I need do is compare the productive employed lives of all my children with the crop of job applicants we get at work over the last ten or even twenty years to demonstrate there's much more involved than luck. It is pretty amazing to see the crap coming in off the street thinking they deserve a steady paycheck.

No...it's pretty much luck.

Our medics administered Naloxone (Narcan) for years before they made it usable for everyone. I just wished we had some kind of magic juice to bring back a 30 or 40 something dad who just had the widow maker 100% of the time. They would often come out of it pissed we took their hi away, sometimes getting violent. Some we did multiple times before they ultimately overdosed and died because no one found them in time. Once we even used it successfully in front of the V A methadone clinic to a vet. Luckily his dealer called us after he sold him his dope.
