Probably some factual basis.. I remember my father (in the army) being issued witha new khaki shirt in the 1960's. There was a note in it dated in WW2 written by a girl who packed tha shirt.. Offering to be a penfriend to the recipient !
Or how about Ascension Island?
2500 fellas and only 20 women - for 6 month tours of duty.
Some of the guys were really really really lucky and met someone in the first month and spent their whole tour together...................
That is as much as I am telling you!

We were issued with condoms to prevent dirt get down our rifle barrels,but not for a sexual purpose.
As for the other there are lots of rumours and stories about various things that supposedly occured in the being chopped off(likely to be true),American mercenaries fighting for the Argies(possibly true),executions of prisoners(possible).If there was free sex on offer i was certainly never told about it,probaly a good job i never heard anything about it afterwards either.
I could tell you about one nurse in WW2 who gave a dyeing Major a good time, hence I'm here.
