The Marines must have been reaallyy drunk.
That’s my take-away.
Exactly my thought. Marines out at 0230, they were probably falling down drunk.
I used to stand medical watch when we were in port. My job was baby sitting Marines that had drunk themselves blind. It always kind of scared me thinking about our fighting men getting so polluted walking down foreign streets. Bad things happen when you make yourself vulnerable.
Agreed.
The key sentence in this entire article.....
“They were in an altered state because they had a fair amount to drink and it was 2:30 in the morning”.
