"Mr. Broun, we'd just like to thank you once again for coming and meeting with us like this."
"Oh, it's absolutely my pleasure. Any group that takes a stand against the rampant liberalism that is destroying this fine country deserves to have their message heard."
"We feel the exact same way!"
"Now, what exactly is it that you want to get done?"
"Well, Congressman, you know how we're in a war, right?"
"Technically, the war ended four years ago."
"Yes, but... our troops are still engaged in conflict in the middle east, right?"
"'Conflict' is putting it lightly. Every day, our soldiers are faced with the kind of conditions you and I could never imagine. They are subjected to a way of living that takes an unholy toll on their bodies and minds. Thousands of them have died, alone and frightened in a land far, far away from any home they've ever known. And those that do survive have more than likely seen countless friends of theirs die in bloody, horrible ways. They are forever changed. They have gazed into the abyss, and it, in turn, has gazed back at them."
"Yeah... well, we wanna take away their porn."
"Why?"
"It's bad for them."
"Sounds good to me!"

How do they know this (from the article):

"“Allowing the 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.”" 

Maybe I don't agree with porn, but I really don't think that trying to get the government to simply ban things we don't agree with has ever gotten us anywhere...especially in this case where the soldiers could use more bills that try to ensure their safety and less bills controlling things that don't necessarily have anything to do with the conflict.

Re:
It really is ridiculous. Maybe if the religious right wants to protect the soldiers' "moral standing", they should stop sending them into the desert to kill people.

Hey, without family, I'd have never seen my first porno!  The family that... okay I can't finish this thought without it sounding disgusting and possibly incestuous, but porn is not the enemy.
