 A military contractor's recent non combat-related death in Iraq could have serious implications for the US Special Operations Forces.

The contractor, an Army veteran who served 20 years as a Green Beret, died in what has been described as a violent brawl with US military service members.

Citing an anonymous military official, The Daily Beast reported two enlisted Marines hit the contractor in an "atmosphere of bravado and trash-talking" on New Year's Eve.
