Pentagon Unveils Classified Doctrine On Strategic Risks Of Marrying Strippers

Internal documents reveal years of high-level briefings, PowerPoint presentations, and one Colonel's entire career dedicated to "Matrimonial Threat Mitigation"

By Staff Sgt. Heywood Jablome and Cpl. Seymour Butts | Pentagon Correspondent | December 12, 2025

WASHINGTON — In what Pentagon officials are calling "the most significant doctrinal development since the pivot to the Pacific," the Department of Defense has finally declassified the existence of MCI 80085D, a comprehensive training program designed to address what top brass have internally designated as "The Cinnamon Doctrine" — the systematic threat posed by matrimonial entanglements with exotic dancers.

The revelation, first reported by this publication after a FOIA request that took seven years and four different administrations to process, confirms what junior enlisted personnel have long suspected: somewhere between planning amphibious assaults on peer adversaries and maintaining nuclear deterrence, generals found time to address the real existential threat facing American combat readiness — PFC Schmuckatelli's fiancée "Destiny."

"A GS-15 somewhere typed this into the system, watched it spell 'BOOBS' on their calculator, and hit submit anyway," said one anonymous Pentagon source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were laughing too hard to provide their name. "That person deserves a medal. Possibly the Distinguished Service Cross."

"Flag officers gathered in a wood-paneled room at the Pentagon to discuss women who remove their briefs professionally. The minutes from that meeting remain classified." — Senior Defense Official, Speaking On Background

The document's origin can be traced to Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. — the ceremonial unit that guards the Commandant's house, performs at presidential inaugurations, and, apparently, moonlights as relationship counselors for strip club enthusiasts. Sources within the unit declined to comment, though one staff NCO was seen weeping quietly into a copy of the base liberty policy.

According to internal memos obtained by HuckFinn, the training program achieved distribution metrics that cybersecurity awareness training "can only dream of." One slide, labeled "SWOT ANALYSIS: MATRIMONY (EXOTIC)," read: "Strengths: Flexible schedule. Weaknesses: Your bank account. Opportunities: None. Threats: Her 'roommate' Viper."

"We identified a capability gap," explained a retired Colonel who asked to be identified only as "the guy who signed off on this." He retired three days after the document's publication. His wife, he noted, "has questions."

"This document has transcended mere paperwork. It is scripture. It belongs in a climate-controlled case at the Smithsonian, displayed between the Declaration of Independence and the original Constitution." — Dr. Harold Finklebottom, Military Historian, Heritage Foundation

Perhaps most remarkably, the document's original social media posting garnered exactly 69 comments — a number that Pentagon analysts say "proves the algorithm understands irony" and that the internet, when presented with content of sufficient cultural importance, "always knows."

When asked for official comment, a Pentagon spokesperson stared silently at this reporter for approximately 45 seconds before responding: "The Department of Defense remains committed to the readiness and wellbeing of all service members. Next question."

The spokesperson then excused himself, and the sound of muffled laughter could be heard from behind a closed door for several minutes.

I was in the room when this was briefed. The Colonel had a laser pointer. There was a pie chart. One slice was labeled "Savings Account" and it was just empty. The General nodded slowly the entire time. No one made eye contact. It was the most professional 47 minutes of my career.

I've given this brief 47 times. Not once did anyone listen. Not. Once. I have watched the same 19-year-old make the same mistake so many times I started referring to them collectively as "the Destiny Cohort" in official reports. My retirement paperwork cited "exhaustion" but the real reason was "Tiffany from Deja Vu."

This is DISGRACEFUL. My husband met me at the club and we've been happily married for 3 months. Just because I work at Platinum Plus doesn't mean I'm not a MILITARY SPOUSE deserving of RESPECT. Also does anyone know a good divorce attorney in Fayetteville

The real question is: who hurt the Colonel that wrote this? Like what happened to that man? You don't just wake up one day and decide to write "THE DANGERS AND CONCERNS OF MATRIMONY WITH AN EXOTIC DANCER" unless you've seen some things. Unless you've LIVED some things.

Plot twist: The Colonel IS the junior Marine from 1987. He became what he swore to protect others from knowing about. A cautionary tale made flesh.

Everyone's laughing but I was the legal assistance attorney at Lejeune for 3 years. This document SAVED marriages. By ensuring they never happened in the first place. Prevention is the best medicine and this pamphlet was basically chemotherapy for bad decisions.

Instructions unclear; married two strippers. One was my recruiter's ex-wife. Now we're all in the same FRG. Christmas party is going to be WILD this year.

Friendly reminder that engagement ring purchases within 72 hours of visiting an establishment with a "VIP Room" are non-refundable per NEX policy. This is not a joke. I've seen the internal memo. It exists. I have questions.

I'm a base chaplain. We call these "Tuesday." The counseling sessions, I mean. It's always a Tuesday when they come in. They always say "she's different." She is not different. The Lord tests us in mysterious ways and He has chosen this particular test for approximately 40% of our junior enlisted.

This is literally the opposite of the way. This is the warning sign BEFORE the way. This is the "DANGER: DO NOT PROCEED" sign at the entrance to the way.

I showed this to my wife. She asked why I had it saved. I don't have a good answer. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight. Worth it.
