- <p> The Pentagon is worried about all the pent-up, hell-raising
- energy among soldiers who have been stationed in the gulf for
- the past seven months. Demobilized troops, before they once
- again encounter freely available sex and alcohol, will be put
- through a moral vaccination program that has been dubbed
- "libido re-entry." Forces leaving the area will be bombarded
- with a series of public-health messages emphasizing safe sex
- and responsible drinking habits. In Oceanside, Calif., near the
- Camp Pendleton Marine base, authorities will advise returning
- grunts about how they can avoid street scams. "We expect that
- every hooker and con artist who can get here will prey on these
- guys," says a spokesman, "because they've got all this money
- saved up."
