Crazy Congressman looks to ban sale of porn on military bases
Filed under: Extracurriculars
Here's an item that should remind you of our country's Puritan routes.
Rep. Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican, has introduced a bill that would ban the sale of soft-core pornographic magazines on military bases.
According to Broun, "Allowing sale of pornography on military bases has harmed military men and women by escalating the number of violent, sexual crimes, feeding a base addiction, eroding the family as the primary building block of society, and denigrating the moral standing of our troops both here and abroad."
The bill would amend a 1997 law that banned more hardcore magazines,
I hate to be that guy but, given the state our of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, is banning the sale of pornography on bases really the most pressing issue related to the military. Maybe we should, oh, I don't know, focus on making sure that our troops have adequate body armor?
Soldiers have enjoyed looking at pictures of nude or scantily clad women for a long time. According to IMBD, "During World War II, Miss West's name was applied to various pieces of military equipment and was thus listed in Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition. The Royal Air Force named its inflatable life jackets "Mae Wests," and United States Army soldiers referred to twin-turreted combat tanks also as "Mae Wests."
I say let the people have their porn!

Hey, you know this is a HUGE problem! I really believe it would help thier marriages(which would improve morale), and decrease the amount of sexual assualt, rape, ect. claims that are being filed more and more frequently by military women. I mean come on now, use your head. True, I agree wiht you all the way that we need more armor(humvees, for instance), but you've gotta remeber the soldiers aren't gonna be as focused as they could be if their family is in trouble. It is proven that porn does cause problems in marriages. That should be obvious. .....I bet your addicted to it, and thats why your sayin this! lol. ok I've said it, now I'll shut up.

Ok, Lets fight for FREEDOM and democracy in Iraq and lose it here. Maybe the fu_k tard congressman could work on lowering oil prices instead of worrying about the porn our soldiers are viewing. No porn for soldiers today no porn for the rest of us tomorrow.
