A Christian advocacy group is encouraging military families, and other concerned citizens, to write letters to the Defense Department expressing concern over the recent decision by the Pentagon that allows the sale of certain adult magazines at military exchanges. ... Trueman says the Alliance Defense Fund is encouraging citizens to get involved in this fight over this pornography policy. "What we're going to do is try to get more and more complaints into the military about this policy. Because in justifying this policy by the military what they've said they've had few complaints from families about the sale of pornography in the military," he says.
Trueman says sexual harassment and other problems in the military are exacerbated by pornography. He says this new policy, of deeming magazines like Penthouse and Playboy as not sexually explicit, counters common sense.

Pentagon okays sale of certain porn magazines at military exchanges

The Military Honor and Decency Act was passed by Congress and prohibits sexually explicit material from being sold on Defense Department property. However, it is up to a department review board to determine what material is considered explicit, and it has ruled that magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can be sold at military exchanges.

Pat Trueman serves as Special Counsel to the Alliance Defense Fund and he says it appears that the military is far less forgiving to those who access porn on the computer, than those who buy it at a store.

1. Do these people have a life outside of their religious bull shit?

"A Christian advocacy group" What the hell does that imply? Hell I'll bet many of the pictures in these magazines are pictures of Christian girls.

2. we know they don't have a sex life...

that's why they obsess on it.

[acmavm]

10. Oh yeah they do.They just keep it hidden because it either involves

children or gay prosititutes and drugs or just everyday run of the mill prostitutes.

[AnneD]

19. There is an old political axiom.....

the Republicans do to the country what they wish they could do to their wives. Don't know who came up with it but I heard it whispered (which is why I remembered) when I was a wee sprout and remembered it til I was old enough to get the jist.

[Double T]

3. Assuredly right. You forgot 'GOOD' Cristian girls.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Ya mean the one's

that have porn star sex but maintain their virginity because they promised mommy they would.

[Double T]

8. Yep! Them're th' ones.

[PDenton]

4. No jacking off in the desert

Save yourself for the 72 virgins.

[BOSSHOG]

5. I'll go out on a limb here

the holier then thou sanctimonious blowhard trueman has never served in the military and has never done anything else for our country. Maybe its time we banned the sale of bibles on base and removed all chapels from bases. After all you can get Penthouses outside the gate, you can also go to church outside the gate.

7. Did these people make one call when the troops were sent off

without proper armour? How about when the food they eat was found to be insufficient and the water they drink fouled? This is what makes me crazy.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Oh that's just silly liberal concerns

we can't have nekkid titties in our base exchanges. Our boys will do fine in the desert because we support em, just check out my magnet.

[acmavm]

11. Maybe if they could get their hands on porn some of these guys wouldn't

be raping and burning up 14-year old girls. But then again, that didn't seem to upset this crowd too much, did it?

[Zywiec]

12. Maybe they're worried about the end of masculinity

as many other DUer are:

[monmouth]

16. How 'bout till they need glasses!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Bwahahaha. They'd have a hard time selling that to my DI.

He was telling us, in a map-making class, that if we didn't have a ruler, we could always tear out a page from one of the "skivvy books" that all good marines carried in their backpacks.

[TomInTib]

15. What's next? Alcohol?

A military without porn just ain't right, somehow.

[Ezlivin]

17. They are afraid of the wrong kind of surge

Every sperm is a possible child and must be protected.

18. Leave it to the fundies to try to condemn young soldiers

to prostate cancer later in life:
