A human non story.....guys that anticipate death may want to get laid.
Part of the problem with the Army today, and General Order #1 is that it is STUPID and disregards human nature.
In RVN you could go to any major base that had a 'massage parlor' or locally called the 'steam and cream' on Cu Chi....but prior you went to the NCO club and drank as much as you liked...we regularly got 2 beers choppered in when in the field (wonderfully warm Black Label).
You could drink, get laid...a shower shave and back to the field.
You were allowed to be a man and a soldier.
Now we want to put men in combat, for a decade, and treat them like boy freakin scouts.
This is what I hated most about working at GO level...this non common sense approach to common sense issues.
Yes, I did say exactly that, often, formally and in non formal situations and no, I never was asked to participate at any higher level.
I watched GO's (not talking SF but conventional guys) that had storied pasts talking like freakin Monks and that still gives me the ass.
The more you deny basic common instinct the more issues you have. Face it and deal with it.
