In today's military, a 23 year old male Lieutenant can have anal sex with a male 4 star General every single night. They can be very open and aggressive about their relationship. This type of relationship is appropriate and approved (even encouraged?) in today's military.
A 23 year old male Lieutenant can't have a romantic relationship with a 23 year old female Specialist in another brigade, or even another base. That would be bad. An unhealthy and disgraceful relationship that damages morale and good order and discipline.
Make sense?
FRiend, when I was in, Officer-Enlisted fraternization was UCMJ punishable.
Has this changed, or did the PC crowd change it?
