Texsox Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 U.S. military blames lap dances for declining military discipline Special to World Tribune.com EAST-ASIA-INTEL.COM Tuesday, February 3, 2004 SEOUL – The U.S. military has asked South Korea to ban lap dancing and other lewd acts at local nightclubs near its bases, saying they negatively impact military discipline. The officials said the military was taking similar steps at other bases in the United States and overseas against lap dancing. The U.S. Army's 2nd Infantry Division, which has 15,000 troops near the border with North Korea, recently sent letters to the South Korean Special Tourist Association and local mayors urging a crack down on lap dancing clubs near barracks. Describing "client-focused exotic dancing" as the principal cause of worsening military discipline, the military letter called for local club owners to "prohibit any physical contact between dancers and (U.S.) customers." South Korean lap dancing clubs are totally dependent on American customers because they are not allowed to take local clients. U.S. officials declined to specify what they meant by worsening military discipline. "We are following trends in the United States," Lt. Col. Chris Bailey, the 2nd Infantry Division's assistant chief of staff, told the Stars & Stripes newspaper. The U.S. Forces Korea has consulted mainland laws banning lap dancing, he said.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 That's ok, I never was a big fan of strip clubs anyway. Besides, when I get back I have my girlfriend to take care of that for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
