“The three officers walked four women through the hotel lobby at about 4:30 a.m.,” “The colonel and the two majors wound up in the hospital on Feb. 4, rather than catching a flight home with the others.” How did they manage both of those? And if they did walk the women through the lobby, they didn’t happen to notice the women carrying their laptops or that their belongings were missing? Marines. Who can ever understand them!
If I understand this correctly, the three officers were with the women, and at some point before they got back to the hotel, two of the officers were drugged. Nonetheless they were able to walk to their rooms with the women. After they got to their rooms is when they blacked out, and the items were stolen. Then, the two officers who were drugged were hospitalized.
