Personnel from U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter Charles Moulthrope seize illicit drugs from a fishing vessel in international waters in the Gulf of Oman Oct. 12. (IT1 Vincent Aguirre/Coast Guard)
The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Charles Moulthrope seized roughly $29 million worth of illicit narcotics during a patrol in the Gulf of Oman — just weeks after confiscating roughly $85 million in heroin in the same waters.
The Navy’s ramped up presence in the 5th Fleet in the past year has resulted in significantly more weapons and illicit drug seizures.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Excellent job Coast Guard! For the drug cartels, this is just the cost of doing business. They may have lost this, but plenty more have made it to designations undetected unfortunately.

1. Kudos to our brothers and sisters out on the high seas.
2. No amount of enforcement, interdiction, is going to stop the distribution of illegal narcotics. None. The profits are just too high. We lost the war on drugs a long time ago, just like Prohibition. All we accomplished is filling up our prisons and increasing the profit margins for the suppliers.
There has to be a better way.
