In Afghanistan, where commanders have forbid any sexual encounters between unwed people, virtually anyone who tries to set up a meeting online can become a target of investigators. One Marine lance corporal found that out in 2012, after he posted an advertisement on Craigslist for a sexual rendezvous. The guy he met at Camp Leatherneck, whom he thought was also looking to hook up, turned out to be an undercover agent with the NCIS.

My first thought: there’s a Craigslist Baghdad? Lester Brathwaite is indignant:

What is this, Baton Rouge? Officers entrapping sexed-up service members? Isn’t there a war or something going on? And considering the danger these brave and incredibly horny men face each day, what’s wrong with getting an innocent beej from a fellow soldier?

Laura Beck adds:

I guess whenever you confine a bunch of 23-year-olds in one place, they’re gonna get laid or post penis pics trying.
