A couple hundred thousand (give or take) military personal are currently overseas—many of them directly in a combat zone—and they've got a lot on their minds, what with the bombs and bullets, nevermind the political situation back home that put them there that has also dug a big rift right down the middle of this country. But you know what's even worse than all that? Some of them are looking at porn!

Yes, of all the pressing issues facing our current military situation there are some folks who think the most important one is the ability of servicemen and women to buy pornography at the base store. A 1996 law forbids the sale of "explicit" material (which brings everyone back to the unending debate about what that word means) and some "patriots" are actually upset that it isn't being enforced all that strictly. There's something to be said for the fact that sexually-frustrated people make excellent killers, but it seems like if we're sending those people to get shot at on the other side of the planet, the least we could do is let them look at few boobies. (And don't even get us started on the two female soliders who had their dildoes confiscated. How else are they supposed to pass the time?) So why does the army hate our troops?

(And don't forget—if you want to send our soldiers you own smut you're more than welcome to—every boob counts!)

<![CDATA[Send A Tushie To Your Boy In The Army]]> When we're not being amused, enlightened, and/or appalled by some of the comments people leave here on Fleshbot posts (when they're leaving comments at all, that is—why are you people so damn quiet?), we find ourselves touched by the occasional genuine sentiment which leaves us wondering what more we can do to make the world a better place for porn-loving folks everywhere. Like this one, which a reader recently left on a post about law enforcement-fellating pornstress Barbie Cummings we published a few months ago ...

hey barbie im a us marine stationed at camp lejeune NC working on are deployment to iraq. im wondering if you could send me a photo and sign it for me so i can put it on my wall once i deploy would be awesome... im a huge huge huge fan and would be great to take that to iraq with me. im leaving in january for ramadi camp blue diamond and it would be awesome if you could do this for me would mean alot. my email is [redacted] i could also send you and thank you pic of me and my friends out here show everyone can see you support the troops:) thanks and hope to hear frmo you!

Now, we didn't have the heart to tell our horny serviceperson that Barbie is currently MIA herself (her blog that we linked to now redirects to a paysite and her MySpace profile has disappeared). But surely there are plenty of other babes out there who would be willing to contribute to the war effort in her stead?

So we're calling on all pornstars, glamour models, strippers, and anyone else out there with a stack of naked 8x10 glossies of themselves and a generous heart to either leave some contact info in the comments below where our brave soldiers can write in and request an autographed photo to help brighten up their bunker, or email us with the info and we'll post it here ourselves. (That goes for you too, Barbie, wherever you are.) You might not support the war itself, but surely you can get behind such a worthy cause regardless. After all, the boys (and girls) of Ramadi Camp Blue Diamond might not have anything over there to fap to. Won't you help?
