Quote of the Day

[timelets]

Although estimates vary, military history experts generally agree that the average GI who served in Europe from D day to the end of the war had sex with about twenty-five women. By the time Germany surrendered, the US occupying army had to ration condoms to four per soldier per month, something an army official complained was “entirely inadequate.”
When the American military occupied Italy, it was estimated that 75 percent of all soldiers had sex regularly with Italian women.
