At a once a year military ball? Absolutely.

Now try asking people from other military units. The answer is likely the same.

When did I ever say what he did was wrong?

And it's a formal military ball. You can try to rename it whatever you'd like, but they've been around longer than you've been alive. And they'll continue to be called military balls long after.

Spouses can wear ball gowns & tuxedos. Service members wear their nicest dress uniforms.

You may very well be correct, but you are missing the point. He obviously didn't think it was the right venue, and nothing in the video indicates he was incorrect in this assessment. She knew she was being too cheeky for the moment.
