And from my dear old departed grandmother:
"If (whoever) dared you to jump off the cliff, would you?"
Don't make excuses for her behavior, granny, she's a growed woman.
Perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Since when does a liberal New York newspaper worry about something like this.
I don't see how anyone can defend this sort of behavior by our armed forces. I find their behavior disgusting and think all those involved should be dishonorably discharged immediately.
They gotta decompress somehow. Nobody was hurt and I don't see any innocent Iraqis with panties on their heads so what is really the big deal here?
Hate to break it to you but soldiers have been getting ahold of illegal alcohol and having sex for hundreds of years.
Being an NCO brings with it some serious responsibilities. One is being careful to avoid fraternization. THAT is what the problem is here. I don't consider what the story describes as a good example of Lead By Example.
Anyone can be a sergeant. It takes guts, discipline and character to be an NCO. You know what we need? We need the Army to transform itself into combat brigades that have female hooker platoons equipped with tactical field bordellos. We could call them "What's Your Pleasure" Platoons or maybe Stress Reduction Control Nodes.
First Lyndie England at Abu Ghraib, now this. Anyone see a trend? Do we really want to pattern our Army after the Dutch model?
I disagree. The ones who leaked these photos and this story are the ones who should be punished.
Unless this event occurred on duty, who gives a hoot? Those folks, more than any others in America, deserve to blow off steam.
Catch you later. I'm on my way to my local recruitment office. Got any singles?
I'm still not seeing a problem.
Well, as long as the bras and panties match, I don't think it's the end of the world.
Now, white bra, black panties? End of the world.
Well, it sounds like it's being handled fairly. I'm honestly not very surprised. Too many people fall into the "warrior monk" illusion of the U.S. Military. That doesn't happen. A lot of these support jobs are far closer to their civilian counterparts than anything in the Army. And as for them being MPs, well, that REALLY doesn't shock me.
They had their fun, now they got caught. Prepare to face the consequences. The only outrage I'd have felt over this story is if jail time had been involved.
G-R-O-A-N!!!!!!!! Bad Punster Bad.
BIG FRENCHING DEAL
They were just blowing off a little harmeless steam in a stressful situation.
If the soldiers involved figure out what prig leaked a video, after being pruriently enough interested to make it, they should treat him to a blanket party.

Morale officer re-run Stripes one time to many?
what kind of medal are they awarded for getting the pin?
at least they're not committing genocide by putting panties
on terrorist heads.(sarcasm)
