The problem with that is you tend to act like a jackass, but there's an advantage too. It's like, 'cause I wonder about this when you have men and women who are on the front lines, and they're putting their life at risk, and they've been there for like a week and a half.

They go off and they have a couple of days off, and they want to blow off some steam. So they have a rius party, and rius parties are where stupid things happen. But having said that, I don't exactly understand how much steam you do have to blow off in order to be able to tolerate the life that you're leading— that high stress, anything is possible at a moment's notice life.

I've already said I know what alcohol contributes to these sorts of situations, but by the same token, you know, it's like how much do people need to let off steam?
