Coop, Servant and you are in a very small "minority" of people who think this behavior was ok and should be tolerated in the military.
You don't seem to understand the ramifications of our troops behaving like this, in countries where the moral ethics can have severe consequences (even death) to our troops who do NOT behave this way! The MAJORITY of our troops don't behave this way. They understand the code of ethics we are all to serve under. The majority do us great honor, and bring honor to all of us while they serve.
This group of people are not the first to serve under great stress. So to say they needed to "relieve" their stress and the only way they could do so, was to strip off their uniforms and roll in mud, is the epitomy of ignorance!
I will say it one last time, they dishonored every woman who has died in uniform. lost a limb or is disabled from serving. I'm one of those woman. I'm offended by this behavior.
Many of us served during extremely difficult or stressful times in our nations history. To suggest we needed to behave this way to somehow "survive" is the most IGNORANT nonsense I've ever heard.
Those kind of statements are sheer stupidity.
2) To say drinking beers and rowdy behavior disgraces our dead veterans is not only moronic, it's insulting.
3) Ignorant of the military? Perhaps you'd like to point out some relevant sections of the UCMJ for me? You know, to help me overcome my ignorance.
Unfortunately,there are a few people on FR,who are not really Conservatives;they only imagine that they are.These people hold views are are not only bizarre,but imagine that these views are the ones most people hold,when they don't.Neither do they know or understand what they post about;especially when it's about military matters.
The ramifications of the disgusting behavior of the few,have now tarnished the heroic,unblemished record of our fine military men and women.Both times,it has been the sometimes warriors of the National Guard. Somebody had better get control of these units BEFORE they are shipped overseas.
