Unlike the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, this hole has no bottom, except the fiery pits of Hell. The depravity and debauchery of man have no end; trying to free one's self from a sexual addition is maddening. It's like trying to climb up a mud-laden slope. The harder you try to get out, the further you slip down into death's shadows.

An increasing number of servicemen and women are confessing to pornography addictions and most government-run military base and post exchanges are only adding to the problem by selling it.

In 1996, Congress enacted the Military Honor and Decency Act, which bans military stores from selling sexually explicit material, but according to Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, the act is not being enforced.

“Congress is going to have to take a look at this,” Donnelly said. “Certainly the Pentagon is going to have to enforce those rules. It's a matter of good order and discipline and not just a matter of religion or free speech. It's a matter that the military itself needs to be concerned about.”

Such concern is apparent among military chaplains like Father Mark Reilly, who recently returned from a Marine Corps tour in Iraq.

Men and women should not serve together on foreign fronts. This serves to increase the frustrations of sexual tensions, which lead to problems like viewing pornography. How can we expect people to remain faithful to their wife or husband when away from home for long stretches, if they're going to be constantly reminded of that which they cannot have?
