Last weekend, news first broke from The War Horse and Reveal that a Facebook group, Marines United, had a link to a Google drive folder containing hundreds of photos of women. Most women pictured were current or former service members. Some of the photos were stolen from Facebook or Instagram profiles, others were nude photos sent privately to boyfriends or husbands, and some photos or videos were taken without the women knowing. Marines -- active duty and veterans -- and British Royal Marines. The photos had thousands of comments, mostly sexual and degrading. Some comments promoted rape or other acts of sexual violence. The journalist who first broke the story, Thomas Brennan, is a Marine veteran and founder of the news website, The War Horse. Since the story became public, he says that he and his family have received death and rape threats and Marine United members have promised rewards for nude pictures of his wife and daughter.

The one that will surely make your Soldier or Airman smile, maybe break a sweat, and definitely miss home? That's right, we're talking about "wife porn. However, the debate rages on about whether a wife sending photos to her own husband can actually be designated as "pornographic. One Army wife, who requested for the aforementioned reasons that her name be withheld, confessed to doing a professional boudoir photo shoot during one of her husband's recent stints downrange. The photos are all very tasteful and I see nothing wrong with these types Such concerns are why many wives are hesitant to take the plunge and remove any clothing for a photo shoot; there is a definite risk involved.

The women, who have never modelled before, can be seen stretched out naked on rocks by a river, walking across a narrow wooden bridge and perched in the window of a ruined castle. Helmets, berets and military kit bags are cleverly hidden in the set of artistic calendar shots to remind people of the linked to the armed forces. By Kerry Mullen.
