Why did these Service Members make the news for doing something hilariously stupid?

These are hilarious, unbelievable stories. You've got to see the Marine jump off a balcony onto mattresses.
Five times a service member’s bad decision ended up as front-page news.
For anyone who has worn the uniform, there’s a fundamental truth of service that never makes it into the commercials and recruiting ads: It can be boring as all hell.
Sometimes, either due to good intentions gone awry, frustration, or someone drank too much, service members and veterans make some bad decisions. In many cases, this ends with a hangover or a moment of public embarrassment. Occasionally, these choices lead to sprains and maybe a broken bone or two, like when a Marine decided to jump three stories onto a stack of mattresses.
But sometimes, someone does something so dumb and outrageous that it makes the news. Here are five of those moments.

Words to live by for a liberty brief:
1. Stay out of jail
2. Stay out of the news
3. Stay out of the hospital

When I was at Fort Bragg, I had CQ duty several times. As the NCOIC, I sent the MP's to town all of the time for drunks doing stupid stuff. They were never in the news or the hospital. They were just your regular weekend drunks.

SGT Randal Groover, After the reunion with the soldier I helped save in Vietnam, we had everyone over for BBQ and beer. Some guy from Ga. was there and he had brought a quart of shine. Things were going relatively slow until he took off the lid of that shine. Within about 30 minutes, the party really got going. It was a great time. And, no hangover the next morning.
