Not to take away from the theme of this thread, but just to add a bit to my above post let me say this. During my time (era of the Vietnam debacle) in the military I observed the Marine Corps culture to be one of "institutionalized mortal sin" where whoring and alcohol abuse were highly lauded. As I look back I wish I had not been present, but I recall seeing a non-Asian stripper perform totally naked at an officer club in Vietnam. On one of the larger military installations in Vietnam they had a rather large massage parlor (aka: brothel). At the BOQ (Bachelor Officer Quarters) at Camp Pendleton, California they had an in-house bar where scantily attired go-go girls would perform on a regular basis. It's quite possible they sold pornography at the Pendleton Post Exchange as I know it was a common practice at some military bases. What I say here is just a small reflection of the greater reality of that seemingly all pervasive immoral military culture I saw back in my day in the Corps. Very sad! So much moral destruction -- broken souls, broken families, but when I was in the Corps it all seemed like a big mutual admiration society stuck in a stupid echo chamber.
On a final note -- I will never forget the idiotic sign I saw proudly hanging in a battalion commander's office: "A Marine Corps Officer does not have the luxury of making moral decisions." May God have mercy!
