I must admit that I don't get what the big deal is if a bunch of consenting females decided to blow off some steam and do a mud-wrestling exhibition, except maybe WRT the girl who flashed the guys.

This was a group of national guard who were going home the next day. The women there are trained in hand-to-hand combat, to use a bayonet and how to shoot a rifle and defend themselves under fire, no matter what their jobs. They take pride in being just as tough as the men.

So if you look at them as the kick-ass babes they really are, they may have enjoyed the challenge of pinning each other in the mud. Heck, they'd have enjoyed the challenge of trying to pin the guys, except they'd be risking a lot more trouble from their superiors had they mixed it up that way. There isn't any sex going on, the men aren't touching them. They are having fun, the there is very little of that to be had there.

As to the likelihood of sgts loaning out their quarters for sex, those are vanishingly small odds. Sgts definitely don't get private quarters. My son-in-law has shared a comex (the boxy container housing being used over there besides tents) with two other guys for 13 months. I suppose all three occupants could agree to loan their quarters out, but they'd be nuts to do so. They are all duty-bound to report improprieties they encounter. And if they don't and the improper conduct comes to the attention of their superiors, they are in very serious trouble. They're not going to risk their career and rank for that - I seriously doubt they'd even appreciate being asked or that soldiers they outrank would dare to do so. Much too much risk of getting in serious trouble, and the punishments can be a lot worse than a little KP.

Bear in mind that this is the story as reported by tabloid journalists - and even they admit they are repeating rumours as to who did what.
