Apparently the US Department of DefenseWar thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.

Uh…

Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.

Apparently they are concerned about soldiers stationed in other nations where sex toys are illegal getting in legal trouble. The original article is kinda funny.

    other nations where sex toys are illegal

    It is illegal to own more than 6 sex toys in Texas:

    Texas Penal Code 43.23 (f) states: “A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.” Elsewhere, the code defines the devices as “a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.”

    This doesn't matter, because if you're a soldier getting things shipped to you, it goes to an APO box that then gets sorted internally to go wherever that soldier is stationed. You'd have to stop shipping to military members entirely.
