Brothel ethics

Padre

Milforum Chaplain
When I was training they showed us a video of padres who served in Vietnam. One retired padre told how one day some of his brigade came back to base after a few days leave from a nearby provincial town. The soldiers headed straight to Padre and said: "Padre, you would have been proud of us, we did a very good and Christian thing." What was that? asked the Padre. "You would have been so proud of us," they repeated, "We tore down a damn brothel!" The Padre raised a suspicious eyebrow as he knew these soldiers well and was surprised. "You did that did you?" said the Padre. "Yes Sir" they said, "Nobody should be allowed to charge prices like they did and bloody get away with it!"
