In between gobs of cheesecake and lurid crime stories, it exposes such eccentrics as the colonel who was able to commit an enlisted man to a psychiatric ward because the man had defended his friends at courtsmartial. Or the officers who punished two G.I.s by tying them together and leading them around like dogs on a leash. Not to mention former Major General Edwin Walker, who was discovered by the Weekly back in 1961 to be indoctrinating his troops...
