Interesting there's such interest in regulating the lives of soldiers and people in general. I wait for the call to remove the class VI and alcohol beverages from the shelves of on post stores.

Soldiers die drowning so, no swimming without a floatation device. Floatation vests while boating goes without saying it's law but lets add a helmet and seatbelts to be "safe". Snow skiing well just too hazardous even with a helmet there’s still leg and spinal injuries, surfing and SCUBA too, no way there’s sharks. Skydiving for sport, too risky, save it for the insertion.

They pulled adult magazines from the shelves to keep the warriors pure. May as well place those seedy off post places off limits too, a soldier could get mugged drink or marry the wrong type of person. Worse still they may tarnish their purity having sex.

Then there's fast food, sugar, sodas, ice cream, take all that away so soldiers are healthier. Surely don’t need the Mess providing it.

Let’s just put speed governors on the vehicles so they don’t go faster than 45, and since GPS is a success lets make a computerized speed governor that works with GPS to recognize the speed limit in the area the vehicle is in. Why do soldiers need a vehicle anyway, there's a post bus and taxi's. A vehicle is too much of an expense for the soldier.

Speaking of upwards-spiraling insurance rates lets put regulations on where people can build or live. No flood plains or mudslide areas, places like that.

Well hot damn, there’s just no end to laws legislation regulation and policy that can be done to limit risky behavior.

The only real reason to be on a motorcycle at all is to be speeding at night with a Kevlar, NVD’s and IR headlight with a pack and weapon anyway.
