Navy criminal authorities are investigating whether two members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team 6 strangled to death an Army Green Beret on assignment in Mali in June, military officials say.I would assume that precautions have been taken to keep the soldiers from wreaking a little bit of private vengeance of their own.
Staff Sgt. Logan J. Melgar, a 34-year-old veteran of two deployments to Afghanistan, was found dead on June 4 in the embassy housing he shared in the Malian capital, Bamako, with several other Special Operations forces assigned to the West African nation to help with training and counterterrorism missions.
The soldier’s superiors in Stuttgart, Germany, almost immediately suspected foul play, and dispatched an investigating officer to the scene within 24 hours, military officials said. Agents from the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command spent months on the case before handing it off last month to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
As to what will come out of the NCIS investigation, I guess it'll depend on whether it's the coverup division or the criminal investigation division that is doing the work.
Not to mention the possibility of "illicit activity".
ReplyDeletea personal dispute among housemates gone horribly wrong or whether Sergeant Melgar might have stumbled upon some illicit activity the SEALs were involved in, and they silenced him.
Naaah...our boys are good, clean kids.
ReplyDeleteIn looking at several discussion sites that have military participation, I've seen a couple of veiled references to intramural choking games.
ReplyDeleteSo, they're into S&M.
ReplyDeleteSounds about as dumb as "Low opening contests".
Low opening contests...wow, what a concept. Hadn't heard of that.
ReplyDeleteThis is more likely to be featured on NCIS.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, NCIS will determine that all three were in a gay love triangle and one got jealous.
