Fratenization between officers and enlisted persons is already illegal in accotdance with the Uniform Code of Military Juatice (UCMJ). I don't know if the UCMJ forbids cadet-officer relationships, but fratenization covers MORE than just sex. It forbids personal relationships of any type.

That's what I don't get in these cases. Why can't they just date civilians? Why hit on other military? This goes across the board including the gays. And this case, like Tailhook, was in a very civilian town. They had access to non-military for their romances. It would be easier to understand if they were at a base for months or years at the North Pole where they had no access to civilians.

You'd think that with some proper enforcement, there'd be a cessation of these kinds of cases. Personally, I think it's important for good morale and unit cohesion. Allowing sexual/romantic links among the military can hardly be anything but detrimental to the missions the military is assigned.
