Sure, we all know how woefully ill-equipped US forces are in the (supposed) War on Terror. With devastating threats like CD’s of porn threatening their every move — what?

The kits — from New Life Ministries, which broadcasts on 150 stations nationwide — promote Bible-based abstinence: no pornography, adultery, nonmarital sex or masturbation.

“Your goal is sexual purity,” the text says. “You are sexually pure when no sexual gratification comes from anyone or anything but your wife.”

Chaplain Randy Brandt, stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany, said the kits have helped combat the “problem of pornography.”

“Even while we were in Iraq, the pervasion of this problem was evident — soldiers had porno CDs they could play on their personal DVDs, and they had sexually suggestive magazines “graciously” donated for the soldiers’ entertainment,” Brandt said. “The problem is an age-old one with the military: Soldiers are far away from home for a long time, sexual frustration sets in, and the visual stimuli become the easiest release.”

But Brandt said the real problem starts when the soldiers return home.

“The soldiers come home, many are addicted to this type of sexual stimulation and either consciously or subconsciously they begin to compare their current relationship with the visual/Internet/virtual reality that they are used to and unfortunately, the real woman — wife or girlfriend — rarely can measure up,” Brandt said. — ABC News, Battle Kits’ Fight Porn, Adultery in the Military.

That’s right — the real problem here isn’t that our soldiers may come home without actual parts of their bodies, but that porn will keep them from copulating with their god-given wives. No word of what porn does to female soldiers, naturally.

Apparently there is no global struggle too great to keep the Theocratic Right from distracting the issue with porn. Can you blame them? What would you rather do with your work-a-day? Fight for veteran’s benefits, lobby your congressmen & women for an exit strategy, or get frothy over the dangers of nasty smut? “Support our troops,” for real.
