I'd say a black or gray sport bra goes with just about anything. No fashion crime.
"It's inappropriate because you had Non-Commissioned Officers fraternizing with what appears to be subordinate soldiers. That causes a breakdown in discipline, for sure."
Bingo. Give that man a cee-gar. But it goes beyond NCO/troop fraternization.
When I joined back in 1982, this issue was still a matter of debate. Some of us joked about the distraction of sharing a fighting position with a female (giving new meaning to the word "fox-hole", etc.).
But clearly the idea of coed units in a combat zone is a bad one. Breakdowns in discipline such as this were not uncommon. It's just that now the MSM can throw it in W's face and say, "Look what you did to these fine innocent young flowers."
Ship the females back to the land of the big PX. Do the troops- male and female- a huge favor.
