I think better of man and giving the government power to become pimps is a degenerate proposition. Don't forget the divorce bill this will cause the tax payer too based off a pissed off wife and confused children.
If deployed weak willed men want their genitals wet, let them do it on their own time and with their pay. Sanctioned tax payer prostitution is not a solution. To begin with, the Feds will have to get the States to legalize prostitution, least be labeled hypocrites. This is a road that should not be taken.
First you assume all men in the military are married, which is a false assumption. Second you presume even married men don’t stray, an equally False assumption.....
Prositutes haven’t clustered around army’s since the beginning of time because they find no customers there.
Save your moral preaching for the pulpit. There aren’t half breeds found in every country that wars have happened simply because of some folks using. rape as a weapon.
If you believe that only, what you term “honorable men” make great soldiers, then just go look and see how much your own government has spent to try to deal with the issues of std prevention and treatment. You can argue morality all you like that doesn’t change pragmatic reality.
Go follow the sailors who have gotten their first shore leave after being stuck on a boat for months and come back to me with what you find. All may not, but many many due and that’s reality. It you believe only good soldiers are ones that never fornicate then enjoy having a standing army that numbers far too few to be effective
