America is in the 5th year of a failed and bloody war that we never needed to start in the first place. Our economy is running into the ditch as people are kicked out of their homes and jobs at a record-breaking pace. The climate is careening out control, causing wildfires, drought, and even agricultural mayhem across the United States.
What’s Republican Congressman Paul Broun doing about the problem? He’s creating legislation to make it illegal for American soldiers to buy issues of Playboy Magazine.
The fighting in Iraq has taken young American soldiers away from their girlfriends and wives, exposing them to violent attack at any moment, putting them under extraordinary pressures that are causing them many of their psyches to crack. They’re in a country where there’s no opportunity for them form relationships with local women.
So, with their active hormones surging and yet denied, and their lives at risk every day, some soldiers find a small amount of pleasure in looking at images of beautiful women. Congressman Paul Broun isn’t coming up with any solutions to soldiers’ problems, but he is taking the time to remove this simple source of comfort from soldiers lives.
His proposed law is H.R.5821, called the Military Honor and Decency Act.
Decency? It’s Paul Broun’s legislation to deny a even little pleasure to American soldiers that’s indecent.
If you really support the troops, don’t cut them off from the small things that keep them sane.
Then we wonder why some go off base to rape little girls.
