It looks like another elite military force has caught sight of the media, and not in a good way. SEAL Team 7 members have been sent home early from a deployment after an incident, apparently involving alcohol, according to The Washington Post.
This may not seem like anything significant, so long as they were of legal drinking age, but they were going against General Order number 1, banning alcohol.
“The Commander lost confidence in the team’s ability to accomplish the mission,” Washington Post reported from the U.S. Special Operations Command. “Commanders have worked to mitigate the operational impact as this SEAL platoon follows a deliberate redeployment.”
As of now, the team is still under investigation and nothing has been released as to whether criminal or administrative punishment will come of the incident.
