That wacky Camp Bucca

Okay, here's something to leave the morning with....
An alleged female mud-wrestling competition in a US military camp in Iraq has the Pentagon investigating a "serious breakdown in US military discipline".

According to the Saturday edition of the New York Daily News, several female US soldiers led a mud-wrestling match in their bras and panties, while other female soldiers showed – flashed - their breasts to their male colleagues in several incidents at the Army's Camp Bucca prison in southern Iraq [the scene of a deadly riot last week when US guards opened fire on prisoners at a main detention facility, killing four detainees].

I don't know quite which angle to approach this one from.
[A military report] cited more serious allegations - that various sergeants had organised the party, lent their rooms to soldiers for sex and were seen "noticeably drunk" during the episode - were being investigated by military authorities in the US.

The mud-wrestling party, the paper alleged, was organised by the 160th Military Police Battalion, an Army Reserve unit from Tallahassee, Florida, to celebrate their return to the US that week.

According to the Daily News, only one soldier has been punished. Deanna Allen, 19, was demoted from specialist to private first class.
Geez, I wonder what she did.



....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.


Update: Perhaps it was merely her "Janet Jackson" moment. Pictures and more of the story here. And more about Camp Bucca here.
