Unlike what seems quite a few on this thread, I've actually shipped out as a young, unmarried man. I've also seen more than a few young men do the same over the years. All I can say is...

GOD BLESS THESE YOUNG WOMEN! THEY ARE PATRIOTS AND GREAT AMERICANS!!!

Seriously, for a young man to go off to war and all its horrors with NOTHING warm and pretty to remember Home with, is very sad indeed to all but the most cold-hearted. Is it so wrong for these women to volunteer to be that memory? Remember, it might be the last thing a young man takes with him to Valhalla.

Surely, too, a few happy marriages will result from this. Women have done such things throughout history, and even WWII was no exception, save that it wasn't "publicized".

Young men on their last days in the States before deployment carry a WORLD of worry and fears in their hearts. They normally dare not express them to their buddies, or anyone. A woman's warm arms are one of the few places he can forget them for a time. I'm just glad to see that SOME American women understand that, and wish to provide them some comfort in difficult times. It sure beats watching the hairy, screeching harpies on the protest lines.
