My first thought exactly.
As soon as I read this, I thought about that sailor who detonated a shell on-board ship a few years back, killing himself and other sailors. Turned out he was a Clinton, panty-waste Pentagon, "Don't ask, don't tell" type.
Turns out he was railroaded (well, easy to blame the dead) on basically no evidence whatsoever; it was an accident (and gunnery accidents are common on battleships, just not many of them since WWII).
