That doctor was unnecessarily dashing.

"I know that the subject of this film is a deadly enemy and a threat to our armed forces. . . "

What, unbridled risk-taking sexual gratification? Oh, yeah, totally!

Shaggy. You probably already know but a site called A.V. Geeks is a great place to find old films. I stumbled on it a while ago, thought I would mention it just in case.

Great find Shaggy. I must have missed this one when you first posted it. I love the old military training, education, propaganda films.

In one of the films, the soldier who gets the clap, is DeForrest Kelley (Dr. McCoy). I wonder if Capt. Kirk ever got the "space clap", he was making it with all of the female aliens.

i like how they never mention the word "sex" in any of the video. and they wait until the last 1 minute before they even make any connection between sexual behaviors or prevention. even though the extent of "prevention" was abstinence.
