You've lost it.

I can assure you, everyone I served with could find ways of getting rid of stress without dishonoring our country or the uniform.

What we did in private was one thing, what we did in public was another. Everyone who serves knows that. You had to be brain dead to not know it. We were taught the UCMJ. You knew there were consequences if you violated the rules.

If we thought like you do and we ever started allowing people to denegrate the ethics of the miltary, we would allow the foundations, the very core of the military to collapse. Thankfully, the majority of us who serve(d) "get it". There are a few who don't and "wash" out. It's always been that way. Unfortunately, they put a temporary "stain" on all of us when they go down.

Now I've had enough of your arguements. If you served, I suspect you were reprimanded once yourself. Because we both served and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this was depraved behavior in a military setting!

You've had enough of my arguments? Then get lost.

Since you're struggling to keep up, I'll say it one more time. This was not a public act. They were not in garrison! They were in a combat zone, and all the clothing they have is their uniforms. I'm very sorry you're having so much trouble getting it through your skull that these soldiers should not have to answer to you or any other civilians sitting in your comfy lazy chairs.
