Solomon,Many Sailors go outside the wire. Seabees, Corpsmen, members of the PRT teams, ect. Suffice it to say, we are not allowed out there without tons of training.
Those looking for my Shipmates don’t give a rat’s ass right now why it happened, it is not their question to ask, it is their job to find them. No one cares ‘why’ until it is over. Once it is over, you start asking questions.

What the YN2 said…In spades. We’ve got two sailors in danger now, and you want to talk crap. It’s not censorship. It’s common decency. Keep all that bilge trash to yourself till they are found, one way or another. Doing otherwise is the same as spitting on them…and their families memories of those who were over there serving. More to the point, open up a box of shut the hell up and start eating.July 25th, 2010 at 5:59 pm

@Solomon:How is your discourse helping this conversation?
“Tragedies happen everyday.” how on earth does that mitigate the situation here.
Does the circumstance of the the rank or particulars of death mitigate one death above another?
We are speaking about two REAL PEOPLE, in peril, possibly dead.
If…as you say..it is unlikely (following your line of logic, for the benefit of the doubt) that two individuals would leave the wire in such a way….for right or wrong reasons…now is not the time for supposition
Wait for hindsight, which I’m sure, for those who consume the spoils, sadly, will be 20/20
In the meantime, let us have hope in humanity and pray for these sailors.
If you prove me wrong, if they are somehow culpable of some heinous crime, then I will pray for them just the same. Because they are sailors, because we are better than our enemy who is unforgiving and close-minded.
