Murder of Logan Melgar

 via Wikipedia

...investigation of SEAL Team Six, which named the two members who were persons of interest in the homicide and initially focused on analyzing their conflicting statements regarding Melgar's death. While they had stated that Melgar had been intoxicated on the evening of his death, he was determined to have no drugs or alcohol in his system when he died. Melgar was further determined to have had his throat and upper body mutilated in an apparent attempt at a tracheotomy. The two Navy SEALs stated that they found Melgar unconscious and not breathing and that they tried to perform an emergency tracheotomy on him. Upon investigation, one of the men involved subsequently stated that Melgar was choked during a "hazing" attempt gone wrong, in which Melgar was to be strangled to unconsciousness, tied up, and sexually assaulted on video.[5]

A continued focus of the investigation was allegations that Melgar had discovered that the two SEALs had stolen cash earmarked for paying local informants and that he had told the two that he would report that. The two SEALs denied this allegation.[6]

Ya know what the worst thing is about all these small wars that SOCOM is involved in worldwide (I include CIA Direct Action Teams in this shit too)?

So much cash floating around that it corrupts everyone involved.

The craziest thing about this? They went with the excuse that it was a botched sexual assault and thought that would see them thru!  Oh and there are a couple of sexual assaults from this outfit that would curl the hair on your bald head and DEMAND that none of your female relatives or friends even think about joining the military (hint...one case of a rape involving the victim's face being punched into goo).

Do you know how much weird shit SEAL TEAM 6 got drawn into during the war on terror?   

I know when things went south for the SEAL TEAMs.  I forgot his name but way back when fitness videos were the hotness.  A Navy SEAL made one, went to work with Black Water and ended up hung from a bridge.

That suddenly made SEALs famous (but wait...more was to come).  Then you had dudes writing all kinds of books.  Book writing isn't isolated to the SEALs but they flooded the zone.

Then the last thing that caused the SEALs to go sideways was the freaking "head bullfrog" (something like that) being appointed SOCOM Chief and they got Bin Laden.

The building and then exploding fame almost wrecked those guys.

They bounced back nicely but they definitely had a rough patch.

Every outfit has rough patches.  The good ones learn from the mistakes (they damn sure don't forget them), figure out what went wrong and move forward smartly.

I think the SEALs are doing that...but Africa is a motherfucker.  Corruption is everywhere and SEALs are in the middle of that hookin' and jabbin' with the Wagner remnants.

Let's hope another group of them don't go native and sully the name again.
