The military is obsessed with alcohol.
The American people don't know that GENERAL ORDER NUMBER ONE for both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was and continues to be:
NO ALCOHOL!
I'm not kidding.
Of all the rules and guidance the military leadership could have made the top priority for the longest wars in American history, it decided to put the prohibition of alcohol at the top of the list.
Not that I'm in favor of drinking in a combat theater, but I would think that RULE NUMBER ONE would be something more inspirational, like:
WIN THE WAR.
I know you are not kidding re: our politically correct military! Fighting in Islamic countries...wouldn’t want to offend the local muzzies with alcohol! Of course, muzzies on jihad can get as tanked as they wish, no prohibition then! /sarcasm
I was in Japan in 2013 working with NMCI on the marine bases there and around that time there was a rape that happened but even though we were contractors we officially could not drink alcohol and had a curfew too, but it did not stop us from doing it :).
In the Middle East, drinking alcohol would be a grave insult to the muslims.
Of course, we are fighting muslims...
Isn’t the US military also against bringing Christian Bibles into the middle east?
wonder what the locals think of tranny sergeants.
