East Coast-based SEAL unit. Per ABC news
"The convoy were service members assigned to an East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare unit driving vehicles while transiting between two training locations," Lieutenant Jacqui Maxwell, a spokesperson for Naval Special Warfare Group 2, told ABC News. Naval Special Warfare Units is the official Navy term for its elite SEAL special operations teams.

Thye love tRump, 2/3rds of service men & women voted for the fascist party.

The military could go out of their way to make an example of them if they wanted to make a point. I doubt very seriously that they will.

Beginning of fascist dictatorship. That's all Bannon needs is to get the military to back up Trumptator.

8. I don't care if individuals back him, their right. But as a group in uniform, totally unacceptable.

... as an ex-CWO with a couple of decades of experience, he's seen a lot. The reason they might deserve more than a chewing-out is that their prank was high-profile. The degree of reprimand is proportional to the rank of the officer they have caused to put out the fire.

Apparently, they weren't SEALS anyway, but just support crew.
