[My observations on military purchase circles: the Air Force is the only branch that lists _The South Beach Diet_ on the list of top-selling items: the Marine Corps is the only branch whose list is topped by a fantasy horror book: _Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)_ by Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson (Illustrator); the Air Force list prominently features sexualized fantasies: _Seduced By Moonlight_ by Laurell K. Hamilton is ranked second and _Dance With The Devil: A Dark-Hunter Novel_ by Sherrilyn Kenyon is ranked third. Is that because the Air Force has the highest proportion of women -- 18% -- on active duty?]
