Department of Defense ignoring law, selling porn

Urge your representative to co-sponsor Military Honor and Decency Act


According to some at the Department of Defense, porn is harmless entertainment. To them, porn should be made readily available to military personnel.

A decade-old law officially bars military exchanges from selling or renting videos or printed material with "the dominant theme of which depicts or describes nudity" or sexual activities "in a lascivious way." But the Defense Department, despite the law, has deemed it appropriate to sell many sexually-explicit publications to soldiers stationed throughout the country and around the world.

It is hardly comforting to know that publications such as Celebrity Skin, Playboy's College Girls, and Playmates In Bed are approved by the Defense Department.

The pornographic industry has become a societal threat of monumental proportions. Its primary targets are men and boys, but families and society as a whole cannot escape its destructive impact. It leads men to adopt unrealistic expectations of their wives and demeaning views of women in general. It rips apart marriages and destroys families.

Rep. Paul Broun, a former jet engine mechanic in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves and later a medical officer in the U.S. Navy, has introduced the Military Honor and Decency Act (H.R.5821), which would close a loophole that permits access to se-ually explicit material at military exchange stores.

Our soldiers are already encountering the unfortunate but necessary images of war as they honorably fight to preserve our liberty and extend its reach abroad. It's time for Congress to revisit the law and clean out pornographic material on all military premises.

Take Action
Send an e-mail to your Member of Congress in support of H.R.5821. Our system will automatically detect if your Member of Congress is one of the 18 co-sponsors and present you with a suggested "thank you" e-mail. If he or she is not a co-sponsor, our system will present you with an e-mail message urging your Member of Congress to support H.R.5821 - The Military Honor and Decency Act - by becoming a co-sponsor. This is urgent -- please act today!

1. They have adult DVD's?

Can they be counted as "adult" if they feature little kids? :shrug:

[the other one]

2. If you are old enough to kill, you are old enough for porn.

Remember:

Fried chicken is delicious, and porn is naked people having sex.

3. Seriously these freeptards are worried about PORN?!??!?!

Yeah cause being forced to maim and kill and torture has far less psychological impact than masturbating. What the hell is wrong with these people?

4. If jacking off helps them get through the day, I'm all for providing materials.

Look, these guys (and women) are doing a tough, dangerous job. They're cut off from the society they're used to. Their friends, families, spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, etc. are thousands of miles away.

If some porn provides a distraction that helps them deal with things, I'm all for it.

5. Yes to killing, no to Playboy

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

6. Dear AFA,

Ban porn from the base exchange, and I'll give away copies of Playboys from the back of my car in the exchange parking lot.

It's obvious that you hate the men and women who serve this country. That's fine, it's a free country. But don't show your hate for them around here, as I will not guarentee your safety when the troops find you.

7. The AFA can have my porn...

...when they pry it from my cold, dead hands. :grr:
