The military members that I know are not dwelling on the Ditz Chix as your comment above alludes to, but rather they are informed, enlightened, and of high moral standards and they just won't support that kind of talk from the entertainment industry. Is it getting in the way of fighting? Not for them persay, but some of the young men and women may be, have been, affected as they are at that point in their lives where they are trying to sort out their own emotions about their families, career, friends, peers, social influences, and they are dealing with all this amidst having to live with being at war or with the possibility of going to war. Incorporating the entertainment industry and some of their wack-job ideas into their collective psyche while at war is a hard pill to swallow. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, etc. don't need to have conflicting messages from a bunch of blonde twits while we sit our fat fannies in front of the TV eating dinner while watching the very war that they are fighting and dying in.
As far as the "fresh recruits" that you mentioned, I wish that I knew more of these fine young adults who made the decision to serve this great nation of ours. The military folks that I know are people that you may read about in the news, or in a military publication, they are also the battery commanders, company commanders, senior NCO's, pilots, spouses, children, retirees, and they are stationed in Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Greece, and all over the U.S.
