Soldiers Say Porn Ban May Hurt Morale

[spacemanspiff]

2 comments from supporters of the ban struck me as FUBAR:

"Allowing the sale of pornography on military bases has harmed military men and women by: escalating the number of violent, sexual crimes;

That's like saying "putting more pressure relief valves on that high pressure tank will cause it to explode more often."

...eroding the family as the primary building block of society;

I wasn't aware that you could bring your family to a war. Seems to me that when you head out on a tour of duty, your stepping a little bit outside of polite, hoity-toity, pinky in the air society.

The place where the story broke - GRAFENWOHR, Germany - is a long way from a war zone - and most Soldiers and Airmen have their families with them there. Grafenwohr is a small town in North-Easter Bavaria not far from the Czech Republic where we (the Americans) have a large gunnery range for tanks and artillery. Very much like what we have here in Colorado Springs at Fort Carson. The major difference is here in the US, shoulders have the ability to run downtown and buy a copy of their favorite softcore magazine in their native language, at Grafenwohr, the only options to get a copy of Playboy ot Penthouse, is through the mail or through the Army and Air Force Exchange service (AAFES) who run the base and pose exchanges around the world.

This prick wants to castrate the rights of service members to get three more right wing votes at home.
