if she was over 18 at the time and everyone was a willing participant, I am all for saying "who the fuck cares"

jxm, you are very far afield on this because you are looking at this in civilian terms

i do not know the specific rules (ask a military guy like oral) but i can tell you there are prohibitions in the military against that kind of "fraternization" which has unit cohesion at it's core.

Definitions
1. Unit Cohesion

[1] " Unit cohesion, the human element in combat, is critical to a unit's ability to survive and conduct successful warfare." (From the abstract of the Cunningham Thesis, page iv).
[2] "[T]he bonding together of soldiers in such a way as to sustain their will and commitment to each other, the unit, and mission accomplishment, despite combat or mission stress." (General Edward Meyer, Chief of Staff, as quoted in the Cunningham Thesis, page 13).
[3] "There are four matters in which concord may be lacking. When there is discord within the country the army can not be mobilized. When there is discord in the army it can not take the field. When there is lack of harmony in the field the army can not take the offensive. When there is lack of harmony in battle the army can not win a decisive victory." Sun Tzu, quoted in the Cunningham Thesis, (page 17). See Sun TzuSun Tzu and the Art of War, and also see Sun Tzu Bibliography. Back to Unit Cohesion heading
