Married soldiers can sleep together in Iraq now

The army has made a historic change in its policy. I found this story on msnbc.com today.

"the Army is allowing scores of husband-and-wife soldiers to live and sleep together in the war zone — a move aimed at preserving marriages, boosting morale and perhaps bolstering re-enlistment rates at a time when the military is struggling to fill its ranks five years into the fighting."

But don't expect them to be seen holding hands or kissing. Whether on duty or in the chow hall, it's hands off for all couples!

And it's still unclear if the rule change applies to soldiers in Afghanistan, where the U.S. has been fighting since 2001.

So what do you think about this? Is allowing soldiers to bunk together going to help save their marriages? Is it really going to help re-enrollment? And what about gay couples? That would take the "don't ask, don't tell policy" a little too far, huh?
