and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives...

They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace...

I've seen this before, but I seriously don't understand the purpose of not being able to drink off-duty "for the rest of their lives..." I also don't understand why they couldn't swear.

These "requirements" sound Puritan and from a bygone era. I don't doubt that these soldiers are committed, but I don't think they'd be judged if twenty years after they served, someone saw them drinking a beer or glass of wine.

What is your specific objection to men who wish to commit to a form of devotion involving exemplary behavior? It is in the honor tradition such as knighthood or priesthood.
