Seems like a double standard to me.If they really made one of them continue to lay on an ant bed. Make all the MPs that were present lay on ant beds for the same length of time. Or make them run the perimeter of the base property barefoot a number of times equal to the number of minutes they detained the hunters. Trust me they'll remember where the property line is after that. heck give the MPs the choice between the two. Then call the matter done.
Also, if you and I rolled up on someone and held them at gunpoint, with no authority to do so, what all charges would be filed? Surely assault with a deadly weapon at the least......
are you really saying that you are ok with them making someone lay on a fire ant bed for 30 mins? I know several people who would be in the the hospital after 2 mins, and I'd be helping them sue the pants of the security dudes! I wouldn't be surprised if the ones lying on the asphalt don't have burns. geez!
these men had already talked to AF security, there was no reason for this, it's most likely a lack of communication between shifts.
