Extramartial Relations

A few months ago, I began receiving e-mail news alerts from Military.com after signing up for the listserv for a research assignment. I usually delete the alerts, but the subject line caught my eye this morning: “Ban on Sex for Soldiers in Afghanistan Lifted ... Sort Of.”

The article contains no graphic descriptions, but I will not excerpt it here because I promised to preserve my blog's PG rating. Nonetheless, I think it will be interesting for those of you willing to take the laborious step of clicking on the article link.

My stance: Let there be fireworks in the barracks of Afghanistan this Memorial Day weekend. Those willing to risk their lives to find bin Laden deserve the comfort of intimacy (so long as they respect the other person).
