Sergeant Melgar’s superiors in Stuttgart, Germany, almost immediately suspected foul play, and dispatched an investigating officer to the scene within 24 hours, military officials said. Agents from the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command arrived soon after and spent months on the case before handing it off last month to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
No one has been charged in Sergeant Melgar’s death, which a military medical examiner ruled to be “a homicide by asphyxiation,” or strangulation, said three military officials briefed on the autopsy results. The two Navy SEALs, who have not been identified, were flown out of Mali shortly after the episode and were placed on administrative leave.

Wow. Don't tell me our guys are going to start a war amongst themselves. I hope they clear it up, but WTF could cause a US on US brawl? I can think of some but other than him putting their lives in danger, none wash. Cheating on cards, drunken brawl, sober brawl? Very bad and very strange.

I imagine the scenario as someone taking smack about technique, started sparring, then escalated with no intervention. I speculate this cause I’ve seen it many times in dojang and heard it often from instructors. Sadly, our fighters should pursue humility having possessed the ability to kill with ones hands.
