It all started at a bar when a civilian contractor, who had been fighting with other customers, began a fight with a group of elite Marines – the MARSOC 3.
The contractor was escorted from the bar, and all was well until Gilmet, Draher, and Negron decided to go home for the evening.
Upon leaving the bar, the three Marines were confronted by the contractor. Despite trying to avoid a confrontation, the contractor struck one of the Warriors twice in the face and was in the process of throwing a third punch. In defense of his Marine brother, one of the men struck the contractor – just once – and sent him to the ground.
The Marines stayed with the man for hours, even bringing him back to base for medical care throughout the night after his “friends” abandoned him.
But, the contractor tragically passed due to complications from his intoxicated state. What followed was and still is one of the most unjust trials our military justice system has ever seen.
The MARSOC 3 Raiders are still fighting against bias, unlawful command influence, and intense intimidation tactics. FIGHT FOR JUSTICE >>
