It kind of falls into the same category as "don't ask, don't tell": Army guys are getting hooked on the Army gals' hit Army Wives on Lifetime. One officer sheepishly tells us that he watches it to relax and reveals that a lot of his foxhole buddies like the show. They say it's realistic, especially in how it depicts battle syndrome issues like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Huh?

What EXACTLY is meant by "it kind of falls into the same category as don't ask, don't tell"? Army guys would get in official trouble for admitting they watch a particular show? They got a reg like that?
