Let’s not jump to conclusions here.

Just yesterday, I had three mortar rounds in the back seat of my car.

It was no big deal.

I dunno. Could be a dumb GI with a round in the car, and a couple of unsuspecting buddies. Could be.

First thought I had was the symbolism of setting off an attack at Pearl Harbor. But could be just as you opined.

We do not know enough about the event. Idiots play around with "dud" rounds all the time.

There are people who look for "duds" on artillery ranges, to bring home and attempt to disassemble.

I remember a dumb-ass I worked with getting flagged to pull over at a gate, once. He bolted because he had weed. I think he may have gotten rid of it before they caught him, but he didn’t remember the 20mm practice round that he had under the seat. Oops.

Doesn’t seem like it’s our military personnel. The story now states: “A base spokesman said that he doesn’t know what the trio planned to do or where they wanted to go.”
