The Marine Corps published a strategic document today that predicts future alcohol-related incidents will be caused primarily by near-peer pressure.
"We need to think beyond the small-scale drinking incidents of the past 20 years of counterinsurgency and start looking at major intoxicating threats," reads a forward from Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller. "In the future, near-peer adversaries like Russia and China will pressure us to enter into high intensity, testosterone-fueled benders. If we're not prepared, they may even drink us under the table."
