Germany is now a 'dry' tour--no beer, even off duty.

Just D&amn!!! Is that true? I was there in '79='82. This is incredible, if true. I wonder how they enforce it?

[cookcounty]

"...Honor...."

Now there's a word you'll never hear at your local university ---except maybe as in "honor killing."

[Ditto]

I'm sure this wasn't going on during the siege of Troy.

LOL. And the military brass was "banning" it then with just as much success as the brass will have now.

It's true, and they are enforcing it. Some of the posts are giving guys breathalyzer tests when they return from town. Any reading of alcohol and it's an article 15. For officer's, it's a letter of reprimand...

Guys like Weaselly Clark.

Why do you think Rummy had to call a General out of retirement to be CoS of the Army?

What prompted to military to pass this rule? Seems pretty damn stupid.

[af_vet_1981]

Amen to that! We are talking about men that are trained to kill people. I don't think I'd question them as to how they relieve stress...

I would. I do not approve of of prostitution, rape, adultery, incest, child prostitution, and any other pagan debauchery men and women have been known to practice, whether committed by Americans or to Americans.

I know this is the way that pagans conduct wars but it is ignoble, decadent, immoral, perverse, and ungodly. Those who practice it should be not be honored but rather rebuked and/or judged.

Probably not. Back then, soldiers were screwing each other.

These guys are putting their lives on the line far away from home for months and months at a time, the majority are young and single, and they spend most of their waking hours surrounded primarily by other sweaty, smelly dudes. And they're not supposed to have any kind of fun at all with girls, even in their off hours?

This is what happens when we let the FemiNazis get their nose in under the tent.

Zealous non-drinking commanders.

[ameribbean expat]

Honor, duty, and country do not require pagan debauchery

yeah, but they're alot more tolerable that way. especially when you've got a needledick like wesley clark for a commander.

[Cogadh na Sith]

Zealot.

What about Patton's quote? "A man who can't f&^% can't fight."

So as far as hookers and drink, you will impose your personal beliefs on your troops. Bad leadership.

"the better answer is to face reality regarding the "oldest profession"


Sadly, facing reality is not usually a penchant for the anti-sex crowds. I agree with you though.

[af_vet_1981]

You could whatever women are in your family with your buddies and tell me it is none of my business if you pimp them out but you would be wrong.

[TLI]

He said lap dancing is associated with other undesirable activity such as human trafficking,

I kinda though it was associated with making a buck. Last I heard, that was an American kinda thing to do.

[Blzbba]

"It seems silly that the military would waste time on something like this. These soldiers are sitting a couple of miles from about a million North Koreans who could come over the border at any minute. I'm not going to question how they choose to relieve that stress."


Agreed 100%.

[af_vet_1981]

yeah, but they're alot more tolerable that way

They bring hatred on the American military for no good reason.

[Blzbba]

"this is nothing new"


Agreed. Men wanting to see women naked is hardly a new phenomenon or one that "reflects poorly on our nation's values".
