Not sure where your text came from, but the Wiki article that resembles it has this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_%281946%29There were several beer joints and honky-tonks around Athens; we were pretty wild; we started having trouble with the law enforcement at that time because they started making a habit of picking up GIs and fining them heavily for most anything—they were kind of making a racket out of it.
After long hard years of service—most of us were hard-core veterans of World War II—we were used to drinking our liquor and our beer without being molested. When these things happened, the GIs got madder—the more GIs they arrested, the more they beat up, the madder we got …
The moral of the story:
Don't get between a GI and his beer, or you may be facing armed revolution ...
Conversely ... drunks + guns ...
Is it common for poll-watchers in the US to get shot / beaten up these days?
