So they give services worth $1000.00 to 50 people so for $50,000.00 they have gotten advertising in such far flung new organizations as BBC etc. I would guess that it costs more than 50k to buy 30 second radio spots in major markets. Amazing how the media can be played for fun and profit.

now that is patriotism!

It's on the front page of Yahoo now, I'm sure will be Broadcast on CNN, Fox etc and and will be broadcast on local and National News later tonight. They hit PR paydirt.

American ingenuity . . . even our 'working girls' know how to work the system. I wonder if the Christian Broadcast Network (700 Club/Pat Robertson) will pick up this story?

I hear they are using Jim Baker and Jerry Falwell as an imbedded (in bed?) reporters on this one.

I wonder how many transports will divert from their intended destinations and land at Las Vegas?

Technically no one is allowed to accept this "gift". If I remember right you aren't allowed to accept a gift with a value of more than $10 unless it is available to all members of the military. Since they said only those who fought in Iraq . . .

 

[Moonbeam]

Hehe, the Moonlight Bunnyranch turned on my lights. I learned that nibbling on the state of Nevada can give you a hell of a sore throat. Handle with care.

I wonder if commanders are getting the word out to the troops? Keep the soldiers informed, by golly!

I assume combat veterans will get Hazard supplements for Iraq . . . so why bar gifts which couldn't possibly be associated with quid pro quo?

It's the .mil/.gov. It doesn't have to make sense.

Of course, it's probably actually available to anyone in the military because it is not as if they are going to be checking travel vouchers. Anyone on active duty supported the war effort in some way.

The most interesting part of the article?

Mr Hof said the idea had been put to him by one of his female employees, who had served in the war.

In what capacity did she serve??? I know that military units used to have traveling prostitutes but that hasn't been acceptable for some time now. A Reservist??

 

[Tab]

I am so joining the army!

Smart move if you ask me.

I never met a prostitute that was reserved. HUH?

There were a number of problems after WWII with U.S. troops in Germany because of disease ranging from 600 cases per thousand to, get this, over 1,100 per thousand (repeats). I can state with confidence that field time in Korea during the early 80s was quite interesting in some respects depending upon deployment location.

All good things must pass and we grow up, I guess.............

 

[MedicBob]

LOL. I just forworded the page to several peeps deployed. They might use the "services" unless the wives hear about it.

I hope you went to see your doctor when you got home.

Like the Richard Pryor joke. Two people having sex. Suddenly the guy's head explodes. The gal says, "Do you think I should see the doctor?"

Nevada brothels have state-mandated health inspections plus mandatory condom usage.

 

[Zebo]

Those girls are some serious Skanks. (arn't most whores) went one time with some friends all had this raspy nasty smokers voice, looked like druggies and generally not that hot.

Thanks but no thanks we said but had to pay for the "free" limo out there for refusal of service.
