Army: No more kissing soldiers on St. Patrick’s in Savannah
Army: No more kissing soldiers on St. Patrick’s in Savannah
https://wtop.com/holidays/2018/03/ar...s-in-savannah/
"SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — The Army wants to halt a favorite St. Patrick’s Day shenanigan in Savannah that for decades has left marching soldiers with lipstick-smeared cheeks.
Roughly 200 soldiers from nearby Fort Stewart are expected to march in the coastal Georgia city’s sprawling St. Patrick’s Day parade March 17. Traditionally, women wearing bright lipstick dart from the crowd to plant kisses on the faces of passing troops.
A Fort Stewart spokesman and the parade’s chief organizer said Thursday the Army wants the soldier smooching stopped.
Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said the marching soldiers “need to look professional” and “red lipstick is not part of the uniform.”
Brian Counihan is chairman of the Savannah parade’s organizing committee. He says having spectators dash into the moving parade raises safety and security concerns."
Welcome to the new Army.

Yet, they are all too willing to let you get a "loppadickoffame" and wear high-heels.
We've lost our freaking minds.

Well, what if it's gay men wearing the lipstick and kissing the soldiers? In today's upside down world that has to be okay, right?

We haven't, but we should be doing something about those that have.

My goodness gracious! WTH! This is a joke, right??? They have nothing better to do than micro-manage this?
Would give a kiss on the cheek, and the only safety concern would be if my red lipstick was put on correctly! Damn..

This is the epitome of the post-9/11 and SJW era we live in... Surprised this was never a concern of national security

You are going to end up in a reeducation camp if you don't calm yourself down.
