I love to see them try to take away porn from sailors on a long term deployment. There'd be mutany.

You know the male to female ratio the men still out number the women in the military. Good lord let them have their nudie mags. If you are female in the military you better have thick skin and get over it. I worked in an all male shop when I was in , and I heard everything that could ever been said.
Too me it is the same as not selling gun mags.

Boy, times certainly change. When I was stationed in Danang there was a brothel on the base (at least until the Catholic chaplain complained).

I was told by a few friends who have been and are there that the no booze,beer and no porn is because they don't want to offend the Muslims. Contraband is easy to come by but beer is tough to get.

In Iraq/Afghanistan yeah I can sorta see it, but everywhere else they should be able to buy it if they want it.

A few weeks ago PBS TV ran a story about WW2

told how when boys were heading off to war, they were given condoms and nudie pix to boost morale
