Interesting observation. I survived Operation Desert Storm with nary a scratch, and none of my male commrades asked me to strip to bra and panties and roll around in the mud. Neither did my female commrades. Neither did my Commanding Officer, and the (all male) subordinates in my charge certainly didn't act like this, on duty or off.

Just a bunch of bad apples who will be dealt with by the proper authorities. What is it with these MP-types? I though military pilots were the hard partiers? ;)

And just how long were you under iminent threat during Desert Storm?
Some Stress in Saudi before the war?
All four days the war lasted?

These people have been essentially 'in combat' for a year. Not the same stress levels at all.

All I know is I'm sorry I missed it.

Thanks for jumpin' right in, since my post wasn't direct to you in the first place.

But, please feel free to support these soldiers and their actions. I'm GLAD to see people supporting the military, eventhough I, personally, don't approve of their unprofessional behavior.

Don't worry. People like me will always be here to defend your right to ask us to explain and defend each and every little thing we've done to protect the freedoms you enjoy in our country. After twenty-plus years of doing so, I'm used to it. :)
