Apparently "Freedom Isn't Free" is another way of saying "Deep down inside, even the toughest, most battle-hardened soldier of fortune is a sorority girl two drinks away from flaming bisexuality."
Taxpayer-funded "vodka 'butt shots'" makes it more poetic than I ever could.
Yes, really.

I wouldn't want to go. Not my cup of tea. But under the proper circumstances I would fully support their right to drink vodka (or eat chips out of) out of any consenting adult oriface they wished! But "hazing" - well if the adult isn't consenting then that's a whole other barrel of apples. If they are then hey, what ever floats their boats!
some supervisors and guards are engaging in near-weekly deviant hazing and humiliation of subordinates.

Picturing the writer sitting on their hands and muttering, "I will NOT type bi-weekly."
It's always been my policy that salty snacks with sharp-edged crumbs do not belong near soft and vulnerable body parts.

Steroids, drink and paranoia: the murky world of the private security contractor:
Paranoid, competitive and fuelled by guns, alcohol and steroids. That is how one senior contractor in Baghdad describes the private security industry operating in the city's Green Zone.

Kabul U.S. Embassy Guard: Sexual Deviancy Required for Promotion:
By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and KIRIT RADIA
Sept. 2, 2009—
Private security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul were pressured to participate in naked pool parties and perform sex acts to gain promotions or assignment to preferable shifts, according to one of 12 guards who have gone public with their complaints.
Click here to see the slideshow.
In an interview with ABC News for broadcast tonight on the "World News with Charles Gibson," the guard, a U.S. military veteran, said top supervisors of the ArmorGroup were not only aware of the "deviant sexual acts" but helped to organize them.
Watch Brian Ross' full report tonight on "World News with Charles Gibson" at 6:30pm.
"It was mostly the young guys fresh from the military who were told they had to participate," said the guard, who talked on a phone hook-up arranged by the Project on Government Oversight, which first revealed photographs of the parties.
"They were not gay but they knew what it took to get promoted," said the guard, spoke on condition that ABC News not publish his name.
The State Department said it was investigating the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the photographs which show naked and barely clothed men fondling one another. The guard who spoke with ABC News said the drunken parties had been held regularly for at least a year and a half.
The State Department renewed its contract with ArmorGroup to provide security at the Kabul embassy last month even though there have been a series of complaints about its performance.
In June 2007, the State Department warned "the security of the US embassy in Kabul is in jeopardy" because of "deficiencies" on the part of ArmorGroup.
Similar complaints were raised at a Senate hearing in June 2009 by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO).
Sam Brinkley, vice-president of the ArmorGroup's corporate parent Wackenhut Services, defended the company's performance in Kabul.
"We are a guard company that prides itself in doing missions well," Brinkley testified.
Wackenhut did not immediately return requests for comment.
Naked Photos at U.S. Embassy in Kabul
The photographs of the naked parties all involve one of four shifts assigned to the embassy, Charlie Shift, according to the guard who spoke with ABC News.
He said other shifts tried to complain about the activities but were ignored by officials from corporate headquarters who visited Kabul.
"It was demeaning, it was humiliating and that was the whole point of it all," the guard said.
