#1 Ok, I have three thoughts on this story.
1) Those Balts sure are catching on to this capitalism thing, aren't they? ;P
2) That would be one hell of a rap sheet....getting busted for prostitution AND discrimination.
3) Just how many hookers do you need to keep 100 NATO soldiers busy?

#3 Nothing new here.
Anyone from U.S. Forces Korea could tell you all about variable "service fees". some of my friends who were stationed in the benelux have similar stories. Welcome to the big leages.

#4 I went to the American school in Brussels back in the 80's. There was a brothel just up the street. Mom could never understand why the cost of lunch at school just kept going up and up. We had multiple senior class trips that year, albeit short ones.
