Organized vice flourishes near military camps
A nationwide survey shows organized vice near U S military camps is largely reduced to isolated pockets. Case studies cite Liberty County Georgia home to Camp Stewart with remaining bars and slot machines, Savannah and nearby beaches, Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, Keesler in Biloxi, and San Diego’s cross border temptations in Tijuana. Navy and Shore Patrol say most service members avoid open vice though some bars and poker rooms remain, with enforcement varied by base and city.
