US Sailor’s Detention in Venezuela Sparks Political Crisis
Story by Jared Harris • 11h


A United States Navy sailor has been detained in Venezuela, the Department of Defense announced.

The Pentagon revealed the news Wednesday, saying the unidentified enlisted sailor was traveling unauthorized for personal business.

According to the Associated Press, he is believed to have been taken into custody on or around Aug. 30.
 
"The U.S. Navy is looking into this and working closely with the State Department," the Pentagon said in a statement to AP.

What an idiot.  They should just leave him there to rot for being so stupid.  Probably muling drugs or seeing a girlfriend or something.

Americans need to understand that in certain countries - e.g. Russia or Venezuela - being an American makes them a target for abduction by the state.
