OK that might be true, but what do you expect servicemembers to do. Many commands don't allow people to date within the command, they can't go to the prostitution houses or they are in trouble. I am not advocating any of this, but as a realist, what do you expect these guys to do? I am totally leaving out morals out of the equation because my morals are must stricter in this regard than others.

The nanny-staters and the do-gooders don't understand the military mindset. Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are not a bunch of angelic nice guys. They are trained killers who can do and have done things that would turn a civilized person's stomach (and thank God for that). Allowing them this release is the least we can do for them.

They should be issued 'interns' as was a recent 'commander in chief' .....

True enough - but there's a big difference between, "release", and being preyed upon by an unscrupulous industry whose executives have discovered the lucrative nature of what Plato referred to as "the tyranny of the appetite".
