Female Member of NC-Based Guard Unit Demoted for Mud-Wrestling Party in Iraq By Martha Waggoner Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A female member of a National Guard military police unit was demoted for indecent exposure after a mud-wrestling party at the Army-run Camp Bucca detention center in Iraq, a military spokesman said Sunday.

The party occurred Oct. 30, as the 160th Military Police Battalion, an Army Reserve Unit from Tallahassee, Fla., prepared to turn over its duties to the Asheville-based 105th Military Police Battalion, said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, spokesman for detainee operations at Camp Bucca.

In the course of the transfer of duties, "some individuals in their exuberance decided to put together a mud-wrestling thing," Johnson said Sunday by telephone. "There were females involved, and some members of the 105th also became involved, one female soldier in particular."

Following an inquiry, that soldier was demoted and placed on restriction for participating in the event, specifically for indecent exposure, he said.

Four or five other members of the 105th who were spectators received counseling, Johnson said.

Sheesh. I hate the politically correct army.

What's wrong with some good clean mudwrestling?

LOL!

She had fangs, but not that long.
They were slightly longer than the norm.

LOL!
I was at least thankful she wasn't like "Miss Staplegun 1993".
I think I'd still be missing if she was.

Mentioned this article to my son (11B- 101st AB) who said this- and stories like it- are why the military sometimes hates the press.

He said a lot of other things too...LOL...which I won't repeat here. Then he laughed and said - thank GOD I'm an infantryman!

Am I the only one here who remembers Tailhook? How the behaviour of men was "watergated", ruining their careers, and justifying putting more women in pseudocombat roles?

Now we see women doing the same thing, and the punishment? Slap on the wrist demotions....

A little research, courtesy of The New York Daily News:

"She is a very beautiful young woman," the grandmother said, "and she is built like the proverbial ... well, you know. She gets a lot of male attention."

Well, yes.
But there's still something left in there, so that would be missing as well.
(Replaced with an I.O.U. maybe..)
