#3 I wonder if they were SEALS or just regular squids. 2 regular squids outside the wire with no protection? Seems odd. Chaplin and RP? 2 "Corpse-men"? I wonder if their new blue camoflage made them stick out?

#4 That being said, I do pray for their safe return. God bless them and their families.

Regular Navy. As for what they were doing and why, I have no idea at this point.

They don't wear the blue BDUs over there.
