COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 29 (UPI) -- Danish air force officials said four soldiers were sent home from the U.N. mission in Lebanon for excessive drinking.
Tactical Air Command spokesman Lars Skjoldan said military personnel are allowed two drinks two days per week, but the four soldiers were extremely intoxicated when their commanding officer confronted them, the Copenhagen Post reported Thursday.
He said the alcohol consumption occurred during free time for the soldiers, but that did not mitigate the circumstances.
Skjoldan said the soldiers will go before the Military Auditor Corps and will likely face fines.
