I would think these sailors would have been warned about how to act in a corrupt former eastern bloc nation. Because of this all the other sailors will likely have to put up with more liberty restrictions.
When in Romania....
In fairness to Fox News, this is an Associated Press story they reprinted. The AP, not Fox News mixed up sailors and Marines. Which is not surprising coming from AP.
As for the story, five sailors getting drunk in a bar and having a dispute with the bar owner is news? When I was on my first enlistment in the Army, we called that Friday night.
Paying that bar tab is a great way to avoid trouble, whether in Romania or Rochester, NY.
Slow news day?
I have been told that US Sailors are no longer allowed to go on liberty the way they used to...everything is an organized group you have to go with...
Don’t know if that is true, but that sound like sucky liberty.
“This story has been corrected to show seven U.S. sailors were involved, not Marines.”
We know Marines would NEVER do THAT!
“Because of this all the other sailors will likely have to put up with more liberty restrictions.”....
In my day in the U.S. Navy, we too suffered the same fate caused by those who seemed compelled to “over indulge”. In the ‘old days”, all Navy personnel we warned prior to liberty to avoid certain areas, represent our country in a civil manner, etc. etc. It didn’t seem to work then either.
Ugly American syndrome.
