Is it "ok" to go in to a "breastaurant" in uniform?

I must exercise good judgment and not patronize restaurants such are bars, and places where the waitresses run around in skimpy clothing like Twin Peaks and Hooters while in uniform. I do not want to create the perception I am consuming alcohol beverages or supporting some crazy subjecting women to the perverted needs of men agenda. Also, people take pictures so I don't those to end up on FB pages like Army WTF or MP WTF. I have ate at family restaurants on occasion for dinner, but I prefer to change into a civilian attire such a zoot suit.

I love the not in good taste comment I have seen over and over again. I didn't realize being on World News shooting at an enemy was in good taste. What I am actually hearing is, certain people do not like the idea of entering into establishments like those and because of this they don't want anyone else to do so. As long as the SM is not drinking in uniform, causing a scene, or in some way shape or form breaking a regulation, leave them be.
I personally believe I should be able to enjoy some decent food, and a good scenery while in uniform. Although I have not entered one in uniform yet, doesn't mean I won't in the future, unless there is a new regulation against it.

I am absolutely against wearing any uniform, whether combat or service, into any establishments like that. You want them to know you're military? By all means, wear one of those nifty moto T-shirts they sell at the exchange, PC, NEX, or whatever exchange you have.

... or a waitress's telephone number. If so I say, "Well played, sir!" But if you get neither it's a bad idea.

To restrict Soldiers from this establishments, I think you'd have to assume that they'd be unprofessional or undisciplined. I didn't know think that's a fair assumption.
I put this next to USO shows with cheerleaders and pop stars. Hooters or tilted Kilt outfits isn't any worse that. Is some cases, less revealing. The military often support these events w/o much concern for its image

I'm going to say no it's not a problem, the big thing I see most people who call it a problem mentioning is the "objectification" of woman. If you see it as that, then you are actually objectiying them without realising it. 1. You are insennuating that the woman are the only reason to go there.
2. Yes a soldier may look but it's no different than in any other resteraunt if you see an attractive woman you are probably going to glance, it's human nature. As long as you are not just eyeballing the woman and just completely being a creep I see no problem. In other words self control
3. Most of these establishments have lots of tv's to enjoy a variety of different sports while you dine and talk where as most of the alternatives do not. Which from my experience is the main reason MOST guys actually go there.

How about everyone follow the Marines' example and not wear your uniform ANYWHERE off duty? Or if you must, wear your service uniform so you look professional.
