When booty calls: Free sex for Iraq-bound soldiers?

Just when you thought war couldn't get any weirder, you stumble accross a text ad on Wonkette for an "online movement" known as Operation Take One For The Country. Let's just hope they're packing condoms.

Mission Statement: To discretely provide US troops shipping out overseas with the most sensually pleasing departure possible.
OTOFTC is a movement of like-minded women (women predominantly as of right now) who have covertly organized into groups to frequent eating and drinking establishments near armed service bases where troops are preparing to ship out overseas, and take one for the country, so to speak. We are a virtual organization and have no official headquarters or charter. We believe US service men and women deserve our support and we are willing to make caring choices about making them happy.
Kelly here! WOW!! - The site is finally up and running. I guess the time had to come. This site means this organization's existence is no longer covert, but remember, our missions should still be.

UPDATE: There's some interesting social-sexual history behind this story. A BoingBoing reader writes in with background on "charity girls" from earlier wars: Link
