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.

That’s a bizarre string of info. Hope the soldiers get some fun and the butt plug lady gets some extra sales.

They could be flipping them for money in culturally repressed markets, pranking each other with a small but(t) sensitive item, spousal and personal use.. fun at extreme scale lol.

Whatever it is, even as boringly significant as an address audit, there could be more to the story, and I for one would scroll that article.

I’m sure an influencer somewhere that will be currently trying to drop ship these things with the marketing of local sky god endorsed straight soldier plug.
