Apparently the US Department of ~~Defense~~War 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.

Apparently they are concerned about soldiers stationed in other nations where sex toys are illegal getting in legal trouble. The original article is kinda funny.

Seems like they could just restrict their people from ordering butt plugs, what with having the ability to order them to do things.
