  • Rolling Stone's Seth Harp joins the program to discuss an epidemic of drug overdoses on Fort Bragg. Bragg is one of America's most important military bases and is home to its Joint Special Operations Command. Yet over a hundred soldiers have died there over the past year and Seth found out why.

    We are back and we are joined now by Seth Harp investigative reporter and contributing editor at Rolling Stone. Whose piece on Fort Bragg is like really just a must-read for everybody. Seth thanks so much for being here today. great to be here thanks for having me. So you begin your piece by setting the scene of two men who were killed by gunshots outside of Fort Bragg. And I mean the numbers are just startling in terms of how many deaths have piled up since the beginning of 2020. What led you to look into this? and what I guess takes us to the beginning of your piece where you initially set that scene. yeah, it was that double murder that you just referred to that initially brought me to this story of more Bragg the larger story of Fort Bragg. the murderer Billy Levine and Timothy Dumas. that actually happened in December 2020. Last time I came on the old show I talked a bit about that. and some other murders that seem to be linked to drug trafficking by elite soldiers at Fort Bragg. and at that time I mentioned that there had been a large number of deaths for Fort Bragg soldiers in general. so aside from the murders, there have been at least 44 deaths at Fort Bragg among soldiers that year in 2020. And I told you all about how I was trying to figure out exactly what was going on there and what was behind such a high body count. Now come to find out here almost a full year later with the latest piece the total number of soldiers that have died before bragging over two years from 2020 to 2021 was 109. 105 of those occurred Stateside. whereas only four of them took place in overseas combat operations. and the latest piece I wrote ruins don't really focus on one of the major leading causes of death there which is accidental drone overdoses. which is pretty obviously linked to you know the prior topic which is you know a lot of the drug crime that was going on the Fort Bragg.

    Currently at Bragg, lost so many good paratroopers due to drugs and alcohol. Being sent out multiple times on rapid deployment or being called at 2 am for drills takes a mental toll. We're just so very tired, and that makes people resort to some crazy stuff to cope. It nearly tore my family apart just being away from my partner and children so much, I'm so glad to be leaving this place. I just want to be able to walk to the store to pick up candy with my kids without feeling like I need to carry a gun for protection.

    Wow! I was born on Fort Bragg, my parents were there for years and that was my dads base until he retired at 38. I’ve gone there so much over my 27 years of life so hearing about these issues with the deaths there is really interesting. Both my parents were in PSYOPs and my dad was deployed so much and before he retired they wanted to promote him to a position where he would for sure be deployed again and he refused. His knees are shot and he just turned 50 and his is considered 100% disabled now. He was also a jump master and it really took a toll.
    At the same time hearing this isn’t all to surprising because tithe military at least for me was never know to be a upstanding organization and there are so many issues across the branches.

    As a veteran I can tell you how all of this is possible and why they receive no punishment. Special forces is hard to recruit for and even harder to train for and pass. Some of these special forces positions take up to 2 years to fully certify someone. To put it bluntly the military can’t afford to kick these people out because they are impossible to replace, and the special ops community knows this. If you know the right people and if you hold a position that will be difficult to replace you can get away with a lot more than your average solider.

      As a civilian looking in from the outside, it would be amazing to hear statements from soldiers/military personnel that can explain how these situations are happening at all, even better, give them just cause. Not just the murders, but the rapes of female soldiers, the strange circumstances that so many soldiers have died under - and especially clear up the obvious drug gossip within the soldiers there. Why are the locals afraid to talk? - and why are so many leaving their family homes because of the level of crime that happens in Fayetteville that most in the area point blame on Bragg for?

    It’s the inflation mixed with the high number of veterans and their families. There are a lot of ex-killers out there in the community, many of which are down on their luck. Their children had good lives when their parents were in the service, and later not so much. There is also the atomization that occurs from having a transient population with no ties or roots to the community. Fayetteville has always had a high crime/murder rate. The town is basically a client community with low wages across the board, many making slightly above minimum wage.

    When I was in the Air Force in the 70s we had to pass regular unannounced drug tests. I guess that's not a thing now? I sailed over 20 years merchant marine after that. Same deal after Hazelwood spilled the black gold in the Alaskan waters. We were always subject to random tests. I guarantee it had an effect on abuse aboard ship. Jobs with high levels of risk to the safety of the public should have accountability measures strictly in place and enforced.
