As I understand it, the women MPs were off-duty and wearing shorts and halters. They weren't torturing Iraqi Muslim male prisoners by forcing them to watch women with bare breasts or butts. And, judging from the pictures I saw, which showed the women smiling and laughing, they were having consensual fun. So what's wrong with this? Are fully-clothed regulation softball and table-tennis the only sports soldiers are allowed for recreation? Aren't our hard-working, war-zone, no-front-lines-so-everyone-is-at-risk soldiers allowed some fun? Well, I'm a guy, so that makes my reaction suspect, I suppose. So I asked my wife about it. Over dinner (at a modest restaurant, btw, so I was not bribing her opinion). And she said the military and Americans should lighten up. There you have it. We vote off-duty covered-up consensual fun mud-wrestling is okay.
