While doomsayers bemoan America's ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, researchers at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center may have turned up a brilliant silver lining.
Thanks to desperate recruiting methods required to staff those wars, the U.S. Marines may be turning military service into a male sexual fantasy land, where recruits are paid actual money to cohabitate with drunk, stoned, horny teenage girls.
UCSF scientists tested and surveyed 2,157 female U.S. Marine recruits -- out of 2,288 possible respondents -- with an average age of 19. Researchers found that the young women were more than twice as likely as non-military young women to be infected with venereal diseases. And the recruits were prone to engage in behaviors likely to get them sick again.
The sexually-precocious female recruits "perceived that sex is more likely and enjoyable under the influence of alcohol, and were heavy alcohol and drug users before recruit training entry," according to a November 2008 UCSF study titled "Relationships among Sociodemographic Markers, Behavioral Risk, and sexually transmitted infections in U.S. Female Marine Corps Recruits."

So where was all that when I was in the Corps? I miss all the fun...
well, if you want the bravest, you tend to attract the most aggressive
More attacks on the Marines from the SF area—nice!
Don’t they have anything better to do out there?! >:-(
Liberals live in a fantasy land.
The said we must have women in the military, and we should never worry about sex between military men and women, because, well either the military can prevent it, it was none of our business, or we were a bunch of stuffed shirts!
Now, surprise, surprise, the military is being blamed for the conduct of the women that the conservatives said would happen.

when I was in, most of the WM’s avoided the other Marines
Yeah. THER'S a credible source. FWIW, the only part they got right was the horny part . . . . . but, pretty much EVERYONE that age is horny, so what else is new?
do they have any articles about drug use by fags?
They are jealous, that’s all.
Probably are drunk and horny. They’re young. And until the Obamaloon takes office, most will not be horny towards each other. The difference between that and the average SF resident is at least the Marines can do useful things...and actually have a moral commitment.
Give me ANY marine over ANY member of the CA government ANY day.
LOL! Where do I enlist?
Probably BS lib propaganda but they better be careful because a lot of kids will demand that recruiters be allowed on high school and college campuses.
I guess all those heterosexual 19 year old women don’t have a significant AIDS problem, otherwise, those San Franciscans might not look at this through the lens of upright, moral, Christian journalism, something that I’m sure the San Francisco Weekly cares deeply for.
and the diseases.
Yeah, and the University of California at San Francisco. It's the part about males cohabitating with females that they don't like. Now if it was males with males or chicks with chicks, well, then it would be just ducky with the Frisco academic and media elite.
SF can stick it up their a$$ - wait a minute, they already do.
