I just watched the video and it looks like they were playing around. I think the dems are going to go nuts over this video! I see it as harmless. Are guys and gals over there get breaks and goof off, it is natural. Honestly I this is no big deal but I can see other's won think the same way!

The person that posted this silliness is turning off the comments...I don't think he expected the "who cares" responses...

You know what would be hilarious? If the video was made in someone's garage and isn't of any military personnel at all, but is a put-up job just to stroke the media, when the real perps admit to it.

From what I understand ANYONE can post ANYTHING on youtube.

I watched a new show in the Military Channel the other day, "Iraq Diaries". These are home movies taken by GI's in Iraq. 5 minutes long or so each.

Many are like this one with young folks just blowing off steam. I have a 20 year old in college and her hijinks are very similar.

Nothing to see - move along.....

[Babu]

The troops were just blowing off some steam, but I'm sure some Dummiecrats will scream "torture" or "sexual abuse".

This society is so friggin' PC no one is supposed to have any innocent fun anymore.

[spaatzcadet]

Hold on-

We ducked taped a LTC to our base flag pole when Air Force played Navy, (he was a navy grad that cross commisioned).

[South40]

Who cares? They were bored and engaged in harmless tomfoolery with an obviously willing participant.

[pfflier]

Looks like routine GI horseplay to me. We did stupid things like that to each other all the time. If you were accepted as part of the squadron, you could expect shoe polish on the phone and other evil things.

We duct taped a FNG to the toilet in Flight Ops and took his flight suit and laid it on the ramp with a "remove before flight" streamer on it. He helped us torment the next FNG. That's what makes RONs more interesting.

The nukes on my sub taped on of their guys under the railing ladder to the mess deck. The railing was right out side the OX's cabin. He was out there all night. The OX came out in the morning and had him cut down.

So ya think our troops are bad???

Ya gotta see our kindergardeners!!!

We should as the FBI to attach a polygraph machine to Senator-Elect James Webb, as he watches.

Allegra's next!

This video is so tame. The gal was laughing throughout the whole prank. MSM and other elitist pols have no clue what it is like to be deployed around the world and in harm's way. To the MSM hacks, PC pols and and Pentagon brass...just let it be. There was no harm done. This is just some innocent fun by some of our troops who are stuck in an armpit of a desert. In my Navy days, we did far more hazing that pushed the envelope. Try crossing the equator on a Navy ship to earn your shellback card!

[dmw]

I don't get it, what's the big deal of them having a little fun for a few minutes? Jeez, the MSM just can't give it up can they?

[BenLurkin]

This must break SOME kind of rules.

[mirkwood]

McCain just now went for prez. He said he had to huddle with his family and make sure they did not break any laws. If I'm lying then I 'm dying.

This was innocent fun. When you're under constant stress and pressure, it's only natural to try to ease the tension by having fun. The female soldier doesn't look like she minded one bit. If anything, the fact that they playfully teased her this way shows to me that she is highly thought of. The guys wouldn't have even bothered with her if she wasn't considered part of the group and well liked. I know, because I'm a female who worked in a mostly male environment. As a Sergeant, I looked out for the officers under my supervision. There was a mutual respect between us, and I can proudly say that most of the male officers I worked with had told me they'd rather work with me than with my male counterparts.

Where I worked (uniformed staff, NY State Prison system), it was standard practice to "get" the new guy or girl, whether they were officer or supervisor. One learned NEVER to leave your uniform hat laying around. Inevitably, someone would hide it on you, or they would put red or black felt tip marker on the rim inside, so that when you wore it, the ink would rub off on your forehead and you'd end up with a ring there. You wouldn't know it until you either looked in the mirror or someone told you. I did it to a Captain once. Thank God I've retired, but I doubt he ever found out who had done it. Another item you never laid down was your sunglasses. They'd do the same thing...put black felt tip marker on the rims and bridge, and when you'd put them on, the ink would rub off on your face and you'd have black lines on your cheeks and on the bridge of your nose. How you reacted to these practical jokes told them what type of person you were. If you got mad and huffy, you probably weren't anyone they wanted around, but if you took it like it was meant, as a joke, then they welcomed you into the fold. It was a kind of hazing routine. I remember once when a new Sergeant made the mistake of leaving his briefcase and hat in the Rover's office of the building he was in charge of. The officers took them and duct taped them to the ceiling in that office. It took the Sergeant all night to find his stuff.

This is a disgrace. A real disgrace. I know it's probably in good fun, but what kind of message is this sending? Why did you put this on the internet? It's not funny.

Why is this news? They are handling her carefully. She's laughing and not screaming, "this will end up on YOUTUBE, and Arianna Huffington will make sure you will all be court Marshalled."

This looks like something my friends in Ft. Smith and I would do to our friend Danielle. And we love her dearly.

There is no reason for anyone to make a big deal of this. Thank God they can still act like kids in the middle of a succesful war.

I guess this is the next abu Ghrab? Or however the heck you spell the overblown, overshown prison video that helped win the left the House & Senate. I guess the GIs got the news of the elections and said "What the hell? We won't be here much longer now...may as well play grab-ass before the terrorists start shooting their guns in glee!"

Wow! If the libs are offended by this, I am certain they will be offended by their sexually charged drunken kids who act out far worse than this at their respecive colleges every Thursday through Sunday during the school year. /sarc.

[right way right]

This is trouble for those boys I fear.
