“So no healthy print or video porn...”
They’re deployed. Technically, porn is not allowed for military units either deployed or on base. This restriction is just reinforcing an AMERICAN MILITARY restriction that’s already in place.
It’s a restriction that’s not usually enforced, but there’s nothing stopping them from doing so.
"No liquor...”
Also verbotten for deployed military units. If our subs pulled into Puerto Rico, we could buy it but it had to be in the Chief of the Boat’s control, under lock and key, until we got back to home port.
"And no bacon...”
Yeah, that’s based on the country they’re in, sure. But we also have to drive the posted speed limit and on whatever side of the road they drive on when we’re overseas. Weird, huh?
“And they expect our boys and girls to live under these conditions?”
In the military? Yes. They certainly do. They can give such orders and they usually do.
“I think a healthy nation-wide class action lawsuit is needed for this...”
First of all, the military cannot sue the military for giving legal orders. Even if they’re unpopular. A lot of things you’d think of as ‘rights’ are not guaranteed to serving military.
A ‘class action’ lawsuit would probably qualify as mutiny. More than two servicemen organizing to resist legal orders? Multiple units telling the Chain of Command they’re wrong? Good luck with that, idiots.
And what do you mean ‘nationwide’? How do these restrictions affect anyone that’s not active duty and deployed in those countries? Do you think you have some right to mail porn to a Marine? Is you life changed at all by not being able to send bacon?
“Hell, they've been convinced that looking at the beautiful shape of a woman is bad”
I’d say it’s more than they don’t want OTHER men looking at the shape of THEIR woman. It’s not better that they see their women as private property, but it’s not like they’re woman-averse.
"and that looking at a nekkid goat is good...”
Naked goats? As opposed to…?
