saw the phottie of the Bronco cheerleaders shaking their booties in the faces of soldiers on deployment in theatre and it got me wondering.. here we have isolated and underfire combat guys all in their prime years stationed in hot zones away from their loved ones/ sweethearts/wives and others and we ' entertain ' them by flaunting prime female flesh inches from their sweaty palms and tell them they can't do anything about it..lookie no touchie..... reve 'em up but give them no way ' out '..

funny way to make them feel ' refreshed '...

reminds me of all the guys hanging out in strip bars.. sitting there drinking to excess staring at naked women they can't have without high cost or criminal repercussions..

frustrating on more than one level..

why do guys do it?

one of life's little mysteries, I guess..

I guess its to make sure the engine still works hahaha.

Still think we need a 'Hooker' Battalion

I like your way of thinking, gunny.. though it's not very " PC "..

someone once suggested that the military should send a planeload of wives over for a ' meet and greet ' with the men on a rotating company basis or soemthing.. but can you imagine?

the women take one look at the men's tents..

" Look how clean and neat you keep everything here and you tell me you can't clean out the garage? "

" You mean you iron shirts and make beds? Why the hell don't you do that at home? At least take out the f&&kin garbage once in a while.. "

" I can't believe that you camn go out and fight a damn war on schedule but you can't find time to attend your son's baseball game and arrange a day to visit my mother.."



and when the guys look at their wives coming off the plane as opposed to the Dallas Cheerleaders..well..

there's a big difference between women in shapeless, comfy dresses and sensible shoes vs. mini halter tops and tight hip hugging short-shorts.. and those calf hugging boots... hmmmmm

uh... where was I..

oh, yeah

Hooker Battalion.. sounds good, put it in a memo to the Joint Chiefs...[ got to give it a spin doctor name, though.. don't want it sdmacking of ' comfort girls' negative imagry from WWII Japan or causing the religious right to go ballistic over lack of ' morals ' or some such and, of course, no ruffling of the fem-lib brigades..]
The 1st SSS [Special Support Services] Battalion

Battalion? There was a whole army of hookers in the Philippines! (Subic Bay, Angeles City - Clark Air Base)

Hooker was a general so it should be okay!
