    I have no idea how “big” drug busts on US bases need to be to be news worthy but the details of this bust seem underwhelming:

    Joint raids by South Korean police and the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division found 77g (2.7oz) of synthetic cannabis, more than 4kg of “mixed liquids” used for vaping and a total of $12,850 (£10,440) in cash at the 22 suspects’ homes.

      I think it’s newsworthy that the host nation was involved rather than the US military handling it internally.
