"During the war campaigns of this century American soldiers could not receive any political information, or news that promoted thought outside of the extensive war efforts to conquer in the Middle East. What they could receive was pornography. The average soldier could be penalized viewing pornography, but was allowed to watch it, and not allowed, in particular, to commit adultery, or fornicate. Despite the need for sexual release in violent and stressful conditions the Puritanical restrains strained and contradicted human nature, and many unfortunate things happened soldiers may or may not talk about." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.2.13
