A new perk for service members:

The Moonlight Bunnyranch in Carson City, Nevada, where brothels are legal, has produced a more erotic version of the standard TA-50 army kits issued to troops headed into battle.

Instead of a compass, toothbrush and soap, the pack handed to soldiers who turn up at the brothel includes condoms, lubricant and a free sex session – with a value of up to $1,000.

“We wanted to show our appreciation for everything they’ve done,” Dennis Hof, the proprietor, told BBC News Online. “We wanted to give these guys some special care and attention.”

With offers like that, I imagine we’ll see recruitment swell quickly.
