One method of protecting military personnel in instances like this is to Court Martial them. Once they are found innocent and released, civilian courts cannot put them on trial again. This has been going on for many years. I wouldn’t worry to much about it but it is worth watching.

I hope and pray that your explanation is the correct one in this case.

The SEALS are more than capable of taking care of themselves. They’ll be fine. Also, under UCMJ if you’re on shore duty (for USN), you have the right to demand trial be CM instead of NJP. IMHO this is a wise move on their parts.
