Well navytimes.com is now reporting that the missing service members are sailors. It doesn't really have any statements to back up that claim. I hope they are not right.
It sounds like the two were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It must be different on the ground, you can just take a vehicle in a war zone and just "head out" on your own. Sounds like special forces guys, something some meat head EOD guys would do. I've already known a few from base that have done stupid things like kill themselves on sports bikes and beat their wives. They let anyone that operate a light switch and swim do that stuff it seems. It's hard to criticize the community as a whole but most of the old timers were really elite and there were only a handful of Det's back in the day (pre 2000). So they could pick and choose. Same thing with the MA rate, good lord don't get me started on those egotistical bastards. You had to earn that shit before 9/11, now they just spray you with some mace, hand you a gun and a baton and give you a early 2000 model ford explorer.
All in all, I hope the Times got it wrong because no squid deserves to be dragged out of his vehicle, beaten and kidnapped when he's covering some Army guy's job filling an IA billet.
