Getting to the good stuff (unless you are easily offended)

Every state has wacky laws, but sometimes you really have to wonder what provoked the law to be written. Actually, I'm not so much talking about laws specifically, but in this instance an Army regulation. N and I were talking about TX, the Army, and just life in general. At some point BJs came up, and how they are banned in the military. (Not just BJs, all oral sex.) This brings up an few interesting thoughts.
1. How is this enforcable? Granted the Army can do random home inspections, but how often does an NCO show up at your door while you're having sex? And they can't just walk in, so how would the prove it? Breathalyzer? "Son, you been eating that coochie? Come here... blow on this!" (no pun intended!)

2. I'm not sure what it's punishable by, but if you got an Article 15 for it, how uncomfortable would you be standing in front of your chain of command because you got a BJ? "Yes sir! I will not let my wife do *that* again SIR!" (Oh come on, no married guy is getting head... everyone knows that!)

3. What had to happen for some MALE soldier to write that reg? Is there any guy in his right mind who doesn't want a little head action? There are a couple possibilities to this. A: He wasn't getting any, so no one else should be B: his wife wanted some, and he was looking for a way out of that. "Sorry honey, Army says I can't do *that*!" C: It was an attempt to prohibit homosexual acts, though that is a whole other regulation, and therefore is redundant.

So what do you think? What would make the US Army have a ban against oral sex? Anyone interested in protesting it?
