The point is, on the big bases, GO #1 is a joke. It's hard for an NCO to run his platoon when his guys are less focused on the mission than drinking or "clubbing" that night.
That being said, I understand it's always been this way - GI's partied in a blacked out London, flight line bars in Vietnam. Some get to experience war a lot more harshly than others - ergo the fobbits, and AF crews bragging in the chow hall about their "number of penetrations" of airspace my soldiers breathed for 13 months.
If you're AF, no offence on that, just heard it several times.
