Reverend Donald E. Wildmon might have figured out the only way to make U.S. soldiers' lives more miserable. He wants to ban smut from military-run stores.
Ten years after Congress banned sales of sexually explicit material on military bases, the Pentagon is under fire for continuing to sell adult fare, such as Penthouse and Playmates In Bed, that it doesn’t consider explicit enough to pull from its stores.

“They’re saying ‘we’re not selling stuff that’s sexually explicit’ … and we say it’s pornography,” says Donald Wildmon, head of the American Family Association, a Christian anti-pornography group.

Apparently this all stems from a 1996 law that Wildmon and others claim is not being enforAAAAAARGHHHH! GODDAMMIT!!! WHAT, YOU CAN DIE FOR A COUNTRY BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ITS' CITIZENS NAKED?!?!?!?! Oh, man, shit like this makes us so angry we can't blog straight!!!
