Line 13:
** Not actually considered much of an issue in the British Army, provided those involved are not in the same chain of command, i.e. no boinking the boss.
** The US military rules about "fraternization" are thus: 1) The two parties cannot be in the same chain of command. 2) You cannot cross the officer/enlisted divide. 3) You'd both better be either married to each other, or not married to anybody.
*** Note that #2 can have exceptions, as long as numbers 1
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Played largely straight in the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', which isn't surprising, since most of the main cast are junior officers still in their late teens. Averted in ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', with two couples from the original who had gotten married in the intervening years. Most Gundam shows play it straight, though.
* Narrowly averted in ''[[Patlabor]]'', as shinshi often mentions having a wife at home. The rest of the main cast are single, but considering their personalities, that's hardly surprising.
* In fact, most [[Humongous Mecha]] shows usually play this straight with the pilots
* Double subverted in ''[[Fresh Pretty Cure]]!''. It seemed that, finally, in the sixth season of the [[Media Franchise]], a character would be introduced who was already taken... but [[Relative Error|the "boyfriend" turned out to be her brother.]]
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist]]: the only married couples are Maes and Gracia Hughes, [[Battle Couple|Izumi and Sig Curtis]] and King Bradley and his wife, {{spoiler|and the first is broken up by Maes' murder in the fourth volume}}. Especially notable given that the series is populated with [[Good-Looking Privates]].
