Quote by: Zeebadee  I believe that all branches of service now charge a mandatory monthly membership fee for their enlisted/officer clubs. Nothing requires a member to play the slots, and there is no extra charge for having the machines in the clubs. No one is "taking real money" from the troops, like gambling everywhere else, they voluntarily take their chances. They don't need you or anyone else to decide what they should do with their money. |
You know I agree on a philisophical level, but I also think it's wrong of the military to put them in that position to begin with.
Perhaps they should attempt to provide similar entertainment that doesn't require real money, but is played with complementary chips.
