Sure, but I can guarantee that the American Dental Association now insists 
that American expeditionary forces of all types dispense only sugar-free, 
goodwill chewing gum.  I'm sure that chocolate bars for beleaguered 
civilians are also now proscribed, not to mention death-dealing cigarettes.  
In a related vein, the Royal Navy dispensed with the daily tot of rum 
several years ago because, as I recall, the practice was deemed 
"inconsistent with the image of a space-age Navy."  Bit by bit, all the fun 
is going out of armed conflict.
