Marine combat veteran, Austin Tice missing in Syria (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/03/war-nostalgia-is-leading-veterans-to-places-like-syria-one-marine-never-came-back.html)

Got use to the chaos of combat. Got lost in Syria.


Achievement always marked his path: Eagle Scout, then Marine Corps—Iraq and Afghanistan—then Georgetown Law. Then Syria. He’d decided to go there as a freelance journalist between his second and third year of law school. While classmates jockeyed for internships at firms, Austin Tice booked a flight to Istanbul. In May 2012, summer started and Austin packed a bag and a camera, and left.


When he disappeared that August, a flurry of questions followed in the media and among Marines who’d known him, or known of him. At first they were the obvious ones: Who’s holding him? Who saw him last? But then other, larger questions emerged, and eventually they distilled into one: Why’d he go?

Because they are adrenalin junkies and can't stat OUT OF TROUBLE. Marines make horrible boyfriends and husbands.

THEY SUCK.
