Apparently the US Department of ~~Defense~~War 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.

Yeah I saw that part in the article too, but you actually can tell what country something is going to from the APO/FPO/DPO code.

Im not denying that the buyer had responsibility in this.

Wait so everybody in the world is required to just understand US military shipping codes? Assuming that information is even on the delivery package (because you could also just have someone in the US redirect the product after receiving it).
