Sex is a fact of life among Americans in uniform

The Salt Lake Tribune reports it's probably not your Dad's military:
If every male soldier here were having as much sex as he claims, his female comrades would hardly have time to fight the war.
Still, sex happens. And in Iraq, it happens a lot. It's hardly a national secret that male and female soldiers have been mingling for as long as both sexes have been in uniform. And, some soldiers are wont to point out, some male warriors have been finding comfort in each others' arms for as long as wars have been fought. But with limited exceptions in other conflicts, there has never been a time in which American men and women have served, side by side and in such numbers, in units engaged in combat.
And troops here appear to be making the best of that situation.
