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.

My initial thought was that this is an attempt at a prank (not a very good one) between two military members.

Why do you think it isn't a good prank?

Too much of a pain in the ass.

Its somewhat homophobic in a "Hurr Durr, you are gay and like to take it up the butt" way. Plus the general stigma around men using sex toys.
