The differences in your comparison are valid, however, we're talking about things that are and are not "socially acceptable". Pin-ups, though frowned upon by the frigid and myopic chastity cheerleaders, were socially acceptable, porn was not. Porn was available during WWII, and any other conflict. It just wasn't talked about. Today, porn is "more" socially acceptable. Not that it's right, it's just a fact of life.

If a military member today goes onto a military/government computer and tries to view or download porn, they're in for a world of hurt by their chain of command. It's a punishable offense under the UCMJ and any commander who values their job will punish the hell out of you for violating the rules. The rules are there, obey them.

What a person does on their own time is their own business as long as it doesn't interfere with their ability to do their job. When it interferes, take the appropriate approach and get it dealt with. Until then, the chaplains need to stay the hell out of it and quit proseletyzing in the public arena about it.
