Porn Ban Could Hurt Morale Email This Story Print This Story

Legislation that would restrict the sale of certain men’s magazines on U.S. military bases around the world would be bad for morale, according to soldiers at Grafenwöhr. U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., has introduced legislation that would close a loophole in the current law that allows the sale of some sexually explicit material on military bases by lowering the threshold required to deem material “sexually explicit.”

Once again a case of too many people minding other peoples business. The is beauty in the human form and some people are more inclined to view that beauty than others. Basically it comes down to the question "Who do you think you are to tell me what I can an cannot read?" Should the Department of Defense even consider this ban?

Porn is gross if you look at porn you have to much time on your hands and to do something elese other than sit around and watch people have sex which is a sin by the way. i believe that porn goes against the moral codes of our military and god there is plenty of other things to do on a base than sit around and watch porn. i mean come on isn't it about time to grow up and relieze that porn is not beauty but a industry built on sex and drugs. when you watch a porn you paid for the drugs that thoose people shot up on, and 90% of thoose people get suck doing porn for money and drugs! we not only have a war on terror going but a war within our country to stop drugs. ask your self next time you rent, watch, buy, a porn are you paying to coke in a pipe or a needle in someones arm. does that man or woman have hiv or another type of std? even if there is protection there they can still pass it. have you ever watch a porn that had protection included for the people. nope! would you want your child to watch that? if your watching porn you need to get up stop and go get your own sex life rather than pay to watch two people disgrace them selves.

I believe you can get addicted to porn, and thats bad. But in the military, when you are away from home and your wife or husband, girlfriend, boyfriend. You get lonely. Who does it hurt when you look at porn? I think "Carmen" went a little overboard. I dont think were putting drugs into there veins. Its there choice if they do drugs, and if we watch porn or not, they will still do drugs. So back to porn being sold on military bases. If its such a problem stick to Playboy or classy not trashy magazines. But I say leave it how it is now. You need to have some kind of escape after a gun fight. It relieves stress. So keep up the good work Soldiers, and try not to get upset about this porn crap. Peace be with you all.

carman, im sorry, its just hard to take someone serious who cant spell basic works right. i didnt even finish reading what you wrote because of how ignorant you are to your own language. as far as the pornagraphy goes... phil said it all, its our rights and to strip that away from the very people that give this country security would be an abomination and a slap in the face to our admirable soldiers. dont go misinterpreting my words, and think i see nothing wrong with porn. i find it considerably imoral, but thats my convictions, ill look down at no man for it, nor will i believe it anyones place to take it away.
