OK, I will bite. What factual accuracy is disputed? There have been a ton of anonymous edits adding stuff that could be said to have agendas, but what in particular is this article flagged for? --James52 02:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


This article is a mess. I don't know if any of this stuff is necessarily untrue, but it almost completely lacks citations. I cleaned up a ton of terrible writing in the second half, but someone with a background in sociology really needs get in here and do the real work. Cssprain 03:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I haven't really seen much progress with this article since I made this previous comment (everything still lacks citation), so I've added the template requesting attention from an expert (who will presumably have access to sources worth citing). Cssprain (talk) 07:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
The whole paragraph about players and cheerleaders could probably go. It's completely speculative. 202.7.183.132 (talk) 09:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reasons for Prohibiting Fraternization in The Military

Disclosure of military secrets and favoritism are cited. One huge reason to disallow fraternization is that too chummy a relationship between officers and enlisted is that officers may be less willing to send friends into battle. The purpose of the military is to win battles for Authority back home. That purpose is defeated when a situation develops that reduces the willingness to fight.--141.156.240.13 (talk) 20:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
