I had no idea that prostitution was actually legal in some parts of Germany until this article about how American soldiers stationed here in Germany are raising their voices in protest over possible punishment for engaging in such practices (I tried to think of some witty pun defining thier "rules of engagement" or "engaging the enemy" but realized I was too lazy to keep thinking about it).

Clearly this has risen my admiration for this country :-) And in the words of William Wallace:

"Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade all of that from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take our prostitutesssss!!!.
