Army discipline

A special today on how US soldiers in Iraq can get sped-up citizenship. Good; they should.

But, a detail I did not know:

Some joke that the privilege of citizenship comes more easily now to American troops than sex or alcohol, both banned in a war zone. [emph. added]

Woah! Seriously? I'd heard the Army was Draconian, but ... wow.
