US troops need to stop masturbating in Afghanistan, Marines say
(DAILY CALLER) An image making the rounds on Facebook gave us a chuckle — it’s a notice posted in a port-a-potty on Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province, Afghanistan, and it sends a clear message to the troops deployed there:
Stop playing with yourself, or else.

The Wigner Effect
Col. L Fletcher Prouty: Secret Team
I just may have been the cause of this. One day while cranking one out in celebration of receiving porta-potties in Kuwait. I had a handful of goo and was like well what should I do with it now. Being that it was so hot I figured it would dry real nice on the ceiling no harm no foul and maybe a cool tie dye piece of art. I was wrong, oh I was so wrong while wiping not long after that I felt something plop down on me. After my hypothesis of drying was proved wrong (it gets liquidy) I then proudly informed other soldiers about the potential of practical jokes. That being if you know a line is forming hop in crank one out throw on ceiling get out of dodge… It took off, and now I’m proud to say that this has been on going for over a decade and has traveled to new exciting deployments.
Oh and jumped branches also I was Army.
Military To Stop Adding Saltpeter to Chow
by Ron on February 15, 2013
Saltpeter, or potassium nitrate, is an ionic salt added to rocket propellants, fireworks, and fertilizer. In the military, it has been used for centuries as a food additive that suppresses libido.
“Saltpeter’s job is to keep erections down, but we determined that any benefits were outweighed by its potential to cause cancer, glandular issues, and disorders of the reproductive system,” said COL Germaine Thompson, a public health researcher at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

@JohnSmith: Yeah, that sounds like Army shenanigans. I’m quite frankly surprised it became an issue with the Marines, but I’m not at all surprised they’re cracking down on it. Conversely, in the Army, you’ve probably got Generals doing it.
if they dont want them masturbating in the toilets then they need to provide a place where they CAN do it…. they are under alot of stress and need to relieve some pressure (no pun intended) its better to jerk off than get a disease or commit a crime (rape)
Maybe we can win some wars if they quit jerkin off. I was Never meaner when I couldn’t jack it.
What alarms me, are the shear numbers of bulls**t stories that circulate on the internet.
That being said, I can find no reputable news organization to confirm this story — only the so-called ‘yellow journalism’ sites which thrive on hyperbole and rumor.
Reminds me of the story that’s been around for a while, claiming that the military has finally stopped using saltpeter (potassium nitrate) in the food/drink to curb the fighting man’s libido/erections — which was never the case.
For one thing — there’s no evidence whatsoever that saltpeter has any such effect.
Be careful what you believe — and always consider the source.
