Any pictures accompanying this story???? Why do I always miss out on the fun?

[Fury]

Those involved should be punished. There's no place for this unprofessional conduct in the military.

Harhar.

WOMEN partaking of this kind of thing?
NOW and the p.c. left would have you believe that ONLY men are dogs and pigs...so to speak.

What? Gambling at Rick's?! I'm shocked!

[Sender]

Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words here.

I'm not condoning but these soldiers are mostly young 18-24 and came from that kind of behavior here in the US and I am sure didn't see anything wrong with that behavior so why should it be bad there?

[E Rocc]

Considering that there's no Olangapo, Bangkok, Pusan, Phenix City, or equivalent nearby, I don't see that this is any sort of huge deal. As long as they were off duty.

These are 19-22 year olds with one hell of a lot of responsibility. "Blowing off steam" is not only normal, it's probably a good idea.

This sounds a lot like Ted Kennedy's "traditional Easter weekend" party at the family estate in Palm Beach...

[SampleMan]

I frankly don't believe this. Feminists assured us that nothing like this would happen with women in the military, and the word of prominent feminists is certainly more credible than something as questionable as actual photos.

We won't have this sort of problem when we let women in the military .....
women and men can serve side by side in combat zones without problems ....

I'm outta here for the day. This is going to be a long (no pun intended), long thread.

"From what I understand they dared her to do it," said Allen's grandmother, Luci Tomlin...

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.

This is the best recruiting poster *ever*

Two sergeants, she said, told her "they had been lending out their room for soldiers to have sex" - a serious infraction of military regulations.

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?

[CzarNicky]

I'm still not seeing a problem.

[wizardoz]

But they do show what experts called a disconcerting lapse in discipline...

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.

[Future Snake Eater]

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.

[Servant of the 9]

I am Shocked, Shocked that early twenties Americans in the military sometimes act like early twenties Americans in college.

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.
