McDuffie faced a board of inquiry into an incident that occurred in Colombia. McDuffie was, apparently, drugged and led around by someone in a &#8220;sort of zombie-like state.&#8221; While he was drugged, McDuffie consorted with purported prostitutes and partied in off-limits facilities.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Col. Roger T. McDuffie, a Harrier pilot, was the most senior Marine in a South Florida unit on a Jan. 21-Feb. 4, 2017, field trip to the Colombian capital to map out U.S. Marine operations there. An initial, internal investigation conducted by the U.S. Southern Command Marine affiliate found some Marines broke curfew, ventured into a forbidden zone, consorted with prostitutes and brought some back to their hotel \u2014 only to be robbed of government property and hospitalized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> His lawyer, Aaron Meyer, tells a different story;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There was zero intent to violate any governing orders, binge drink, or carouse with women,&#8221; the attorney said by email. &#8220;Colonel McDuffie, as the senior Marine present, failed in his broader duty to set the conditions that might have prevented such a drugging,&#8221; Meyer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, the board recommended that McDuffie be forced to retire at his current grade. The Navy Secretary will make the final decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes reports that Marine harrier pilot Colonel Roger T.
