Military officials say a 14-year-old girl reported missing from her San Diego home was found in the barracks at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base last month, and a Marine was detained briefly for questioning.

      I hope that’s the case because one does not typically walk on to a military base without being challenged.

      “She found them”, or she was found during a room inspection or wandering the hallway by an NCO on duty. Probably an NCO with the common sense to ask what in the fuck a 14 year old girl is doing wandering around the barracks on a military installation.

      I was in the Army. I’ve reported underaged girls in the barracks to superiors before.

        Huumm… you mean to say soldiers commonly kidnap/take somehow underage girls into bases? Does the military attract a higher percentage of nonces??

            I guess, but being a soldier is hardly a position of power is it? Are people attracted to the military because of authority?

            I never felt soldiers had any authority over me or anything lol

            If a soldier told me to do something, I’d just laugh. Even a general or something like that tbh.

            Do “civilian” people generally feel the military has any authority over them/non-military things?
