Within each of us exists this space that, if not naturally filled with good, nurturing self-acceptance, tends to fill with something else. The problem with filling it, or attempting to do so, with something external lies in the insatiable nature of the space. Some people try to fill it with drugs or alcohol, some fill it with food and others do so with romantic relationships. Then there are those who attempt to fill this space with things-retail therapy, a great sale, inheritance, valuable memorabilia-that, when taken to the extreme or done without real consciousness, makes life unmanageable. The Symptom is clutter and disorganization, the underlying issue is the unfillable space, the overall effect is unmanageability. This overall effect is just that, overall. It affects every area of your life from the cluttered junk drawer to sleep habits to relationships. This book offers you a lasting solution to the unfillable space.

The American military's public international strategy of Communist containment, systematic weapons build-ups, and military occupations across the globe depended heavily on its internal and often less visible strategy of controlling the lives and intimate relationships of its members. From 1950 to 2000, the military justice system, under the newly instituted Uniform Code of Military Justice, waged a legal assault against all forms of sexual deviance that supposedly threatened the moral fiber of the military community and the nation. Prosecution rates for crimes of sexual deviance more than quintupled in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Drawing on hundreds of court-martial transcripts published by the Judge Advocate General of the Armed Forces, Policing Sex and Marriage in the American Military explores the untold story of how the American military justice system policed the marital and sexual relationships of the service community in an effort to normalize heterosexual, monogamous marriage as the linchpin of the military's social order. Almost wholly overlooked by military, social, and legal historians, these court transcripts and the stories they tell illustrate how the courts' construction and criminalization of sexual deviance during the second half of the twentieth century was part of the military's ongoing articulation of gender ideology. Policing Sex and Marriage in the American Military provides an unparalleled window into the historic criminalization of what were considered sexually deviant and violent acts committed by U.S. military personnel around the world from 1950 to 2000.
