Owner Of Adult Store Stunned After Pentagon Demands She Stop Shipping Butt Plugs To Soldiers In Middle East

Apparently the US Department of DefenseWar thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.
Uh…
Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.
Better hope they don't sit down too hard, or they might get more of that excitement than they're ready for! I've heard "without a base, without a trace", but this is more "sit on a shell, welcome to hell".
They should just be a rifle attachment.
I like her attitude to this whole thing.
I hope she updates her website with a 10% discount to all troops posted overseas
Just slap camo pattern on it and get a Pentagon contract
Tactical Plug
The picatinny rail is ribbed for your pleasure
You could put it on the base for accessories
Need a more flared base.
Properly fitted, a buttplug reduces cavitation shock waves from shrapnel and small munitions, reducing internal damage and increasing soldier survivability by over 9000
No damnit, it says “ON their end” not “IN”.
DoW, I think you mean.
Doesn't matter even with that spin. The DoW is well aware of how its military postal system works and thus knows that the sender has ZERO idea of where a package will be delivered to.
It actually makes sense when you include this important bit, "on behalf of the country of Bahrain"
It's likely Bahrainian customs inspecting the package, finding illegal contraband, then contacting the intended recipient for an explanation as to why they're receiving banned goods
US Military responds by saying they'll inform all parties to prevent future occurrences. It's classic CYA
There's a couple of problems with this:
The vendor has no idea what the destination is when sending it through military post. Part of the whole point of a separate postal system is that you can't figure out deployments from postage. So even if they're doing it "on behalf of Bahrain" they're aiming that the wrong direction. They should have been aiming it at the recipients (who obviously know where they are) not the shipper (who doesn't).
The country of Bahrain has no position where it can give orders to nonresident foreign citizens either.
You're completely correct, but that doesn't stop it from happening. It's just performative covering of asses all around. Now the Bahrainian government doesn't look like they're giving the US military a free pass and the US military can say they're doing something
