Having just watched(on Youtube) two USNA midis lipsync "Endless Love" to one another, I too wonder about the hairless body shaving thing. In my day in the military,post-Vietnam, pre-Desert Storm, no guy would be caught dead shaving his legs and armpits. Must be a generational thing in the Abercrombie influenced culture, and says alot about the way straight men--admit it or not-- are under the influence of gay culture.
