#1 *sigh*

Since when have we demanded a monastic warrior class? The only real question here is whether anyone was forced to take part.

#2 Oh, it's typical. Back in the good ol' it used to be called the "God's Army" syndrome. Even Mac tried to outlaw condoms in Korea, figuring that they would result in immorality. The very next month, when the theater VD stats came through, the theater medical officer is alleged to have actually pounded on Mac's desk while screaming at him. Mac reversed the policy.

#3 I sincerely hope that they go after those who were coercive to the young lady. Yet she must still be responsible for the choice she made to participate.

Such behaviours are prejudicial to good discipline and to morale in the long run. Short term, the guys feel it is fun to have the girls play along in their fantasy. But it leads along into more fantasy and more attempts to get the girls to play along . . . until the girl says no, whereupon the guy has to make a choice. But we should never let it get here.

Never forget where the last compliant MP female got us . . . and herself (preggers, with some doubt as to daddy, I should think).

Having good policy in place and enforced makes the force stronger. Making stupid policy decisions (removing condoms in Korea) is stupid.
