Either way, I'm sure we'll learn a bunch more about them over the next few days - but so far I haven't seen any details about who they were, where they were from, or how they ended up on that train. I'm just glad they did.

Only if they where off duty embassy guards other than that there is no permanent US Marine posting in Europe. The only time I ever saw Marines in Germany was if they where on a stop over at Ramstein AB either going back to the US or going to either further afeild in Europe or to the Middle East or Afghanistan. They wouldn't be able to venture as far as France in that case it'd be the base or Kaiserslautern to drink. Usually the stop over is just one day and going to leave would not be permitted to easy to go AWOL but they'd get liberty to go to town in Germany that could be literal if you catch my drift.
I doubt they could be Marines on sea duty on liberty either though I suppose that is not impossible. Could also simply be two Marines on leave from anywhere as well. Heck I ventured with friends to Prague all the time that could be done on a (wild) weekend.
Off duty embassy guards seems most likely. Assuming the information that they are Marines is correct.
