Such action would only be necessary if lap dances are prohibited.

Ted,

That's a nice little restaurant.

The meal was good. I waited for the lap dancers, but the mariachi
band just wouldn't go away.

Damnit Charlie. Then ALL the bars in Korea would be off limits. No
more "steam and cream". Can you imagine Vietnam being off limits??
Everyone beating their meat to the jungle beat?? Pussy is a commodity
of war and peace. We need to be remined what we are fighting for.

Now when I was in Kimchiland, the only places put off limits were those
with high "vidokey" rates and even those came off the list once the
local medics got a piece and came out clean. At Camp Casey, they had a
Top Ten sandwich board at the main gate. Boy would mamasan be ****ed
when she found out her girls were dirty. Then she would lower the price
and you took your chances.

I was going to tell them that it had already been tried and it never worked.
Some people never learn.



What a joke - that lap-dancing would undermine the morale of US troops
in Souh Korea. You want to sap the morale of the troops block them
off from going to "the ville" and see what happens.

The entire local economies around US military installations depend on
servicemen. The US military presence in South Korea makes for a
symbiotic economic relationship with the Koreans. We need them and
they need us. The US/UN command has always turned a blind eye towards
the "other economy", and tacitly abetted it. When I was stationed in
ROK there were Army units that had over 90% VD rates.

There have been periodic attempts to clean things up, often due to
pressure from stateside morality and parents' groups who are under the
impression that their poor little babies are being corrupted by the
Korean hookers. I remember when there was a big push to clean up
the distribution of girlie mags in the AFEES but simultaneously any
US serviceman could step outside the gates (sometimes inside the gates
too) and get real women.

The US Army moving out of Yongsan in Seoul, the locals' sensitivities,
and the generaly lower visibility of US troops in South Korea are
probably driving a lot of this, or perhaps the 2nd ID just recently
got a new commander who's got a bit too much starch in his underpants.

Yeah and the Navy is opening up 2 new recruiting offices in Salt Lake
City. They want to recruit sailors that don't drink, don't swear and
are basically celibate. But can they fight a war worth a dam???

U.S. military blames lap dances
for declining military discipline

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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold it right there, General.

Order your men not to enter those night clubs.

What ever happened to putting clubs "off limits"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

The more than 90 American installations
throughout South Korea have long been a
source of friction between residents
living near the U.S. facilities,

who complain of pollution, noise
and traffic from the U.S. bases
and occasional crimes by American troops.

Many crimes committed by U.S. servicemen
involve nightclubs near their barracks.

Amid an increasing number of
American troops accused of crimes,
their legal protection has become
a sensitive issues for the two
governments.

"The USFK will root out any practices
that go contrary to a positive environment
for U.S. soldiers, Korean residents and
people of all nationalities,"

said Chae Yang-To,

a spokesman for the 2nd Infantry Division.

The United States maintains 37,000 troops
in South Korea to help defend it from a
potential conflict with North Korea under
a bilateral defense treaty signed after
the 1950-1953 Korean War.
