Wow.... having been in all I can say is out at sea for a monh with no female contact a nudie mag was welcome to sore eyes.
Take that away.... who knows. It's just wrong in so many ways. You don't want to sell it on base... ok, but don't penalize the men who wear the uniforms defending our rights with their lives for having it.
We've come a long way since Vietnam..... and in a very bad way I may add.

They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, these men are fucking putting their lives on the line to protect our rights and we deny them their right to possess a nudie mag??????
FUCKING VOTE OUT ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS.

This may have to do more with the fact they are in a Muslim country where porn is illegal among the citizenry.
As for sexual contact, i.e. hookers etc.... this I believe has been common to not allow it. It does put our men in harms way. Now, if you have bases where you can have nurses and USO ladies and such and clubs it's different, but picking someone off the streets is extremely dangerous not only to the man/woman doing so but to possibly the whole company and even the base.
For example..... you go out, get a girlfriend and go back to her place... instead of hootchie the cootchie you get 5 guys tying you up demanding to know things harmful to our position.
If you're on a base, however, that is much much much less likely to happen.
