THE DANGER ZONE — Five Air Force service members have died, and three are in the emergency room after being challenged to try Meals, Ready to Eat (MRE) by a group of Marines.
"I couldn't believe the scene," said Sgt. Chinchilla, the first military police individual to respond. "Some of the Air Force folks were already cold. A couple were shaking and convulsing from the toxic contents they had consumed. Several died on toilets."
The culprits, a group of Marines found on the ground laughing harder than a cackle of hyenas, were caught almost immediately. One of the Marines was so enamored that he urinated himself uncontrollably.
