Why can army drink at a bar in uniform, but air force can't?

Asked by hairypalm (889points) April 6th, 2008 from iPhone

I saw army kind drinking at a bar, so I asked what the deal? I would not drink in uniform any way. It made me angry to see army drinking in uniform.

Simply put; Air Force has much higher standards than Army!

evidently, according to army regulation 670–1, a soldier is prohibited from wearing his or her uniform at “an establishment that primarily serves alcohol” or when the soldier’s primary activity at a bar or restaurant is drinking (whereas it’s ok to wear a uniform when you’re out to dinner, and having a drink with dinner. just not when you’re out drinking.)

Which would you rather have plow into your house at cruising speed? A jeep at ~60km/h or an F-16 at ~1500km/h?
