#2 Hmm! I know guys who frequent that spot, and I can believe at least one of them could be involved in a "drunken Christmas punch-up". None is employed by Raytheon, though.

#3 Raytheon Polar Services provides contract services at the base, everything from utilities to cooks and a bartender.
I wonder if the latter provision might provide a clue to the cause of this disgraceful episode.

I would bill the miscreants for the C-130 flight if it were up to me.

The usual suspects will no doubt blame global warming.
