  1.  @king_kiff3969  you may laugh but a unit at Ft Lewis in the 1980s lost 5 M16A1s in the Nisqually river after soldiers commandeered a canoe and flipped. The weapons were subsequently recovered by Ranger and Special Forces dive teams. Meanwhile nobody in that battalion. No matter how far removed from the incident was allowed to go home.

  2.  @twistedyogert  extenuating circumstances of one of the soldiers being injured. They were trying to move him to a location that would be suitable for attracting the attention of a passing vehicle on a main road through the area. They were on a E and E training op. The only real repercussion the team leader's corporal rank was reverted to specialist 4. The reasoning was that none of it was done maliciously. All of the weapons were recovered within 3 days. The guy lost his rank because of the way he went about reporting it not because it happened. Let us leave it at the words Cluster F***.
