I came home on Saturday. To my surprise I saw U.S. soldiers in the Santo Domingo airport. Why are they here? I searched all over Google but found no answers. Maybe someone here can enlighten me.

Were they on duty, or merely hanging around?

Marines guard the U.S. Embassy, so they could be on TDY, assisting the DEA, or simply wanted to get their vacation started asap, lol. Next time you see them, just ask.

Going to close this thread before it goes off the rail. OP got a few good answers to his question.
