Three married U.S. Marine officers have found themselves under investigation for a night in February that went off the rails in Bogotá, involving allegations they went drinking with some local women, were slipped illicit drugs, robbed of U.S. property and landed in a local hospital emergency room.

Their careers and marriages are in shambles. That’s a high price to pay for some strange xxxxx...
do the people involved have names?
They’re all named in the article.
The explanations to their wives had to be rather interesting.
As a civilian, I would not be stupid as to go to a pub crawl in any South American city.
The piece mentions that these Marines...*senior officers*....brought four women home with them.
I,for one,have never had an urge for "companionship" that's been nearly strong enough to cause me to bring Third World women home with me.
Maybe I just have lower testosterone levels than some guys.Or maybe I'm just a bit smarter than some.
If these Marines are court-martialed I'll bet learning what was on the iPads and cell phones will be interesting.Maybe even classified!
Testosterone is no excuse. If you really are in need, you squeeze one off.
The military really has to drive home the point of not going to these places.
“Saenz apparently never blacked out and wasn’t drugged, according to the report.” -— Is it a coincidence the only one with a Hispanic name was not drugged?
is there a shortage of applicants
to Annapolis?
However my wife was not the first Colombiana I met. One woman I dated was completely batsh@t crazy. She was a white Euro with little or no Indian. "Highly Entertaining" but I had just gotten out of a crazy relationship and engaged in a low key escape plan when she asked me to run away to France with her.
"I'd love to go to France, but I am washing my hair next Tuesday."
No, I did not say that or come close to it, but every time I think about that situation this is the first excuse that comes to mind.
Anyway it ended well, except for the part where I found out she was married later but separated. The whole time. Changed my number not long after that. My word to him would have been "Dude, to her you are just one wave in a sea of d@ck and she's been surfing..."
Anyway, not long later I met my wife. At some point I learned that well, another Colombian. Totally different experience and we are going strong after what is now about 22 years since we met.
I hope this post is as entertaining to you as it was for me to remember. Thank you God that I am not single. Dating was an exercise in volatile chaos because I adore Latinas and have a "thing" for accents and foreign languages. Would I do it all over again? As a young man, hella yeah.
Very sad behavior.
It's the latter. Too many men are too quick to think with the wrong head, and not even all of that military training and toughness is enough to protect you from the consequences of that.
Yer as kuhRayZee as me.
Latinas tick me off and are my biggest turn on.
Those eyes and their freedom to express themselves are spell binding.
Still, I couldnt stop laughing “Dude, to her you are just one wave in a sea of d@ck and she’s been surfing...”
Funny as hell...
He knew better.
Idiots.
Something a PFC would know was worth brig time and these imbeciles go ahead and jump off the cliff.
They all need to resign, ASAP and count themselves lucky that I’m not on their court martial board.
Just send them home to mama, that should be enough punishment.
Or he was in on it.
How close does this resemble the Secret Service whore call in Bogata several years ago? I recommend that if you travel there, lock yourself in your room at dark and don’t come out until daylight.
I retired from the Army as a Field Grade Officer. Putting my career in jeopardy for a few hours of pleasure is not something I ever considered. I can only imagine the stares and comments when these guys walked their “ladies” past the group of other officers at 0430. I can only imagine the comments and broken furniture when these guys got home once mama knew what had happened as well. Now no career and no marriage. Tough price to pay.
