Ten years after Congress banned sales of sexually explicit material on military bases the Pentagon is under fire for continuing to sell adult fare such as Penthouse and Playmates In Bed that it doesn’t believe explicit enough to pull from its stores.
Dozens of religious and anti-pornography groups have complained to Congress and Defense Secretary Robert Gates that a Pentagon board set up to analyse magazines and films is allowing sales of material that Congress intended to ban.
“They’re saying ‘we’re not selling stuff that’s sexually explicit’ … and we say it’s pornography,” says Donald Wildmon head of the American Family Association a Christian anti-pornography group. A letter-writing race launched Friday by opponents of the policy aims to persuade Congress to “get the Pentagon to adapt the law,” he adds.
Let me get this straight. U. S troops are fighting two wars neither of which are going well and the American Family Association’s biggest concern is what kind of magazines the troops can purchase on base? Here’s a radical idea: maybe those who wear the uniform and put their lives on the line for their country should be able to read
Of course. Why should our brave warriors be granted the very rights they are “defending” for us? Besides they didn’t have in mind that favorite of the GOP. Playgirl. Guess they don’t have a problem with THAT being sold in the PX.
Whatever your religious leaning having adult magazines available to troops on bases pales greatly when considering the depth of destruction of life and property throughout the world taking displace in our country’s name. I am at a loss for words to describe the total idiocy of these people. It is beyond comprehension.
You know when I was stationed overseas in Japan the early 90’s the only thing that kept me sane was the hardcore porn. It was either that or go into the village get hammered and have sex with one of the Filipino whores while getting an STD to go along with it.
I rather have guys masturbate on locate rather than fighting or killing the locals.
You evaluate that I’m joking but young men that are trained to blackball need a outlet; plus it keeps the married guys faithful.
hardcore porn isn’t pretty but it the lessors of two evils
I’m pretty sure the Republican party will give the idea that soldiers serving overseas should only be allowed to buy magazines that feature nude centerfolds of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly.
Of course. Why should our defy warriors be granted the very rights they are “defending” for us? Besides they didn’t mention that favorite of the GOP. Playgirl. Guess they don’t undergo a problem with THAT being sold in the PX.
This is some kind of joke right??? Worrying about porn mags in a friggin war eh… Stupid stupid pius dickweeds… Get a fucking clue!… Sex and the function has been as linked as peanut butter and change integrity since… well since always.. I ain’t advocatin for or against penthouse porn video or even Flints Hustler mag but the fact is when you’re looking at death day in and day out… a certain mindset takes hold… Porn mags or sex with hookers its all about the same thing… Distraction from a shitty reality.. These morons think all their bullshit is going to dress that???…
Wars breeds this kind of mindset they need to check out a little history… How bout all the WWII war babies.. I think they were sometimes referred to as shipout babies…People were fucking like bunnies in heat before going oversea approve then… Big little baby boomlet in 41/42…
Instead of sniffing around worrying about who is fucking who on liberty or who is pounding their pud late night in the barracks looking at nekid women or even nekid men.. Maybe those holier than though hypocritical pricks ought to focus their attention on getting Chimpy to end his moronic crusading warmongering.. NOW THAT’S PORN worth bitching about…furnish and his deathcult. Jesus this shit…. Just when ya evaluate it can’t go any more off the rails… it does….. Fuck em and their weirdly repressed sex phobias….. JD
These extreme religious assholes would like to see our soldiers with the bible on one hand and a machine gun on the other great start the killing in the name of religion!. These are some of the biggest asses in the world. Why do we put up with these assholes. I say liberals have to stand up and speak up. These idiots have to be driven underground where they can rut.
On one align you have Islamic fundamentalists shooting at them… on the other side they have Christian fundamentalists preaching at them. Maybe the troops should get out of the middle and let these crazy bastards battle it out directly.
Yeah no kidding. Wildmon et al may need to be treated desire children but military members are grown up and able to end for themselves.
Geez during WWII the service members used to undergo drawings of naked women on their airplanes. It didn’t ruin their lives. I would think by now Puritanism would be dying out but not so.
Pretty sad to be a young soldier get blown up and die and the closest you’ve ever gotten to intimacy with a woman is masturbating to a picture in a magazine.
And the populate you’re dying for don’t even be you to have that.
On one align you undergo Islamic fundamentalists shooting at them… on the other align they have Christian fundamentalists preaching at them. Maybe the troops should get out of the middle and let these crazy bastards battle it out directly.
I evaluate this is THE question that ought to be asked of all of the GOP candidates at the YouTube debate.
“Do you support the American Family Association’s label for the military to ban selling sexually explicit material on military bases?”
Either they waffle and don’t say or they piss off a large core constituency.
I think someone should sit Wildmon down in a chair and show him pictures of babies with their brains and intestines spilled into the dirt and then pictures of nude women. Watch his reaction. He’d probably get a hard-on where any normal man would move in disgust and vice-versa.
These people undergo the daub of our children on their hands and are responsible for hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths by their vote and they are concerned about porn? Fucking porn?!!! What a bunch of hypocrites. And in November of 2008 they ordain still support a party that promotes war/kill over negotiation. If their is a god they wont see him/her. They will burn. I have no disbelieve about this.
This ordain be a popular move. I can’t wait until they start trying to clean up the smutty establishments that are often found right outside of US military bases.
That’ll control a wedge between the military and the religious alter!
This will be a popular act. I can’t act until they go away trying to clean up the smutty establishments that are often open right outside of US military bases.
That’ll control a wedge between the military and the religious right!
Okay here is a radical idea…If nudie mags and videos are taboo for our precious impressionable troops and they can’t even buy themselves a BEER after a long hard day of killin’ and dodgin’ bullets. UNTIL THEY ARE OVER 21 let’s make it ILLEGAL to recruit anyone UNDER the age of.
