And we'd prefer that these boys die virgins, if we can have it. Can you imagine the domestic backlash if the command in a given theater set up licensed brothels that could be managed by proper medical and security authorities? The seamy underside of war among American soldiers is that sex, which we'd prefer to pretend doesn't happen, is a massive black market which, like all black markets, breeds the worst kinds of behaviors and generally breaks down the fighting capacity of the force.
