You can say that. But when my units came back from overseas deployments, I saw a lot of Public Displays of Affection going on and I was guilty of it also. I never saw anyone get hauled up on office hours for it.

The UCMJ has been changed to allow sodomy, so what is the difference anymore? My son (in the service) tells me this is true because he went through several days worth of training on it not so long ago.

Face it, the military and the country is sunk if it isn’t changed now!

So you want to start hauling married (to women) sailors to the brig because they gave planted a big kiss on their wife in public after 9 months at sea?

Military policy allows PDA at traditional events like welcome home ceremonies and balls. Whether good or bad, it’s a non issue for many Soldiers now.

Evidently not when the CIC, all the admirals and joint chiefs are smiling benevolently on the scene.
