Just one of what could be many illustrations.

I remember the incident in “One Million Dead,” (by Jose Maria Gironella, on the Spanish Civil War) where the far-Left commander Buenaventura Durruti is leading a column of Anarchist troops to try to take the city of Zaragoza. The effort fails, partly just from anarchists-being-anarchists, and partly from the sexual disorder sweeping the ranks, with venereal diseases having a greater impact on the troops than even mortar injuries.

At one point Durruti separates out all the homosexuals and gonorrhea-infected militiawomen from his forces, puts them in boxcars, takes them off on a railway siding, and mows them down with a machinegun.

Not my recommendation, by the way.

But it does show that the Spanish Left was even in the 1930’s a haven for disordered, promiscuous people (both hetero and homo) and even the Left found that sexual disorder (in any kind of “sexual”) is incompatible with combat-readiness.

Note to the DoD.

Excellent comments Mrs. Don-o, especially about it being an abuse of the other party—regardless of consent.

I cannot believe that fallen humanity would be THAT good at keeping a vice in the closet unless said vice had some really obviously nasty social side-effects that called for swift and severe reaction.

“Sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance” indeed.
