RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A female member of a National Guard military police unit was demoted for indecent exposure after a mud-wrestling party at the Army-run Camp Bucca detention center in Iraq, a military spokesman said Sunday.

The party occurred Oct. 30, as the 160th Military Police Battalion, an Army Reserve Unit from Tallahassee, Fla., prepared to turn over its duties to the Asheville-based 105th Military Police Battalion, said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, spokesman for detainee operations at Camp Bucca.

In the course of the transfer of duties, "some individuals in their exuberance decided to put together a mud-wrestling thing," Johnson said Sunday by telephone. "There were females involved, and some members of the 105th also became involved, one female soldier in particular."

Following an inquiry, that soldier was demoted and placed on restriction for participating in the event, specifically for indecent exposure, he said.

2. When I was an infantry commander ...

I once had an MP unit attached to my unit. They were the most undisciplined rabble I ever dealt with. Apologies to honest and good MPs but that was my experience.

3. Gee, they can strip the natives naked for torture,

but you dare not show any of your own skin for fun? Doesn't it seem we have the wrong people in charge? Maybe if we had more Liberals with a spine we could once more be Proud Americans, instead of being ashamed.
