Are AF Pilots guilty of flying 'high-er' than authorized or getting 'wrecking balled' for acting like Miley Cyrus?

Officials at the Texas base reportedly concluded the pilots were distributing drugs based only on the text messages, which refer to ecstasy by its street name, Molly, and include the Miley Cyrus lyrics: “We like to party/ Dancing with Molly/ Doing whatever we want.”
The pilots purportedly passed drug tests and said the lyrics are about carousing, chasing women and trying to sustain the memory of a lost weekend in Las Vegas. The Air Force has issued a statement confirming the IG inquiry and saying the pilots’ cases will be reviewed based on the findings.
“Commanders are expected to hold members accountable for their actions, while ensuring due process and equitable treatment are appropriately applied in every case,” the statement reads in part.

I would have never made it in the Air Force --well, "today's" Air Force anyway. Cripes, I got exhausted with signing the "I wasn't at Tailhook" forms. Yes, these forms existed in the early 90's. "Enduring due process" = Surviving a General Officers knee-jerk.

It is deeply disturbing to me that fighter pilots flying multimillion dollar aircraft are any kind of fans of Miley Cyrus.*
*Sarcasm
EDIT
Having thought about this a little more, I wonder what business the Air Force has reading their text messages. Sounds to me that having failed in finding proof of their initial investigation, they took something small and made a big deal out of it.

Brown shoes are "different," 1SG (Join to see)... I'll just leave it at that, OK? (Appreciating your sarcasm, btw)

They read the texts of someone else's phone while investigating an unprofessional relationship and saw these other texts, opening the second investigation on drug use.

This is standard AFOSI modus operandi. An Air Force Area Defense Counsel stated years ago, "Nobody has done nothing wrong." In other words, when AFOSI is given a case, there's going to be someone getting screwed. They may not find evidence of the alleged "crime." But they'll dig a hole to China in order to uncover anything to hang you with.
