That is not the point. It was a simulation, but my city worked best with trains instead of cars.

Soldiers on leave from any country will tend to act like kids on prom night. As long as they don't get into any trouble while enjoying their free time, what does it matter?
I am proud to be a Soldier and an American, but that was not how we were trained to act as guests in another country, and they regularly got in trouble. Many Soldiers lost their licenses and rank and every weekend, Sergeants needed to pick up Soldiers at the MP station. They regularly warned us that the Polizei were free to play rough.

However, that is entirely besides the point. Drunk Soldiers may have been making themselves nuisances and targets, but the trains ran anyway and fairly safely.
