This is beyond the point of the old speech (Hey we have a party set up in your honor, why don't you come right on in, these two gentlemen will make sure that you get to the right place, oh and you won't need that beret or that belt why don't you give those to me).
Yeah, getting arrested on leave is always going to happen when your young and stupid and just came out of the field, but it was never pleasant dealing with the consequences of that when you got back to your unit.

I am not trivializing the issue. I read in another article that the issue that happened on the boat was of a sexual nature. I reckon that is what caused the boat to be called back. I am sure we both agree that once you have sexual impropriety in those deployments all hell breaks loose. If this was reported by the individual that was assaulted (for want of a better word) then that individual has my respect.
I think the arrest is a tag along part of the story and can't see it being the driving force behind the recall.
