Of course, officials moved in and stopped their fun:
The mud-wrestling babes weren’t coeds but MPs. And the scene was an Army-run detention center in Iraq.
The New York Daily News reports female MPs mud-wrestled in October, with a crowd of male soldiers cheering them on. According to snapshots obtained by the News, one young military woman lifted her T-shirt to expose her breasts, while another revealed her thong panties.
Those involved are reported to be members of the 160th Military Police Battalion, an Army Reserve Unit from Tallahassee, Fla.
The unit has since returned to the states. Military officials say one female soldier was demoted for indecent exposure.
What was the big deal here? Mud wrestling prepares them for the future — if they want to work in Presidential campaigns.
