The staff at the US Army's Combat Equipment Battalion at Hythe, Great Britain, just had to attend the office Christmas party. No, really. They were ordered by the base command to attend the party or face disciplinary action. A memo from the base commander told them: "Let me make it clear that every employee's duty on December 19 is the Base Christmas Party. All employees not on approved leave will participate in the party... If you feel like I am trying to force FUN upon you, then you are correct."
