Apparently the US Department of DefenseWar thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.

Uh…

Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.

    So, they want her to stop sending sex toys to Baharain, but

    The United States Postal Service and the DOD work together through the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), managed by the Army, to provide worldwide mail services (APO/FPO/DPO) for service members. These address formats don’t reveal the country, just the person and military unit.

    So she couldn’t screen out those orders, even if she wanted to!

      Yup. The system by design (to avoid deployments being decodable) doesn’t reveal the actual destination … but somehow she’s supposed to know.
