“The trick exploited the well-known psychology of troops on permanent guard duty. Such troops must always be on the alert for what they never expect to happen and what, if they do their duty, never will happen. Their way of life becomes a stultifying bore, with the same dull routines from day to day and from week to week. Nothing offers a more welcome release to such misery than a little nip now and then, or, better still, a party. … It was a typical ‘G.I.’ binge with everybody getting happily drunk at the guardhouse since the stuff was doctored” (Nibley, Since Cumorah, 316).
