Don't be too hard on the Army......
I wonder if the use of the word 'members' is an international or unintentional pun.
international, as you suggest.
As its bed time, I'll have a stiff one.

Remember, Viagra is a vasodilator, and was originally intended as a treatment for high blood pressure. That could be what the medics were treating. 
Also to remember; if you are on blood-thinning or vasodilation meds for high BP, don't stand up (in the real sense) after taking Viagra. You'll fall over.

I'm pleased that my first post has stimulated a mass debate on the forum.
With regard to why women might be prescribed Viagra, WebMD has this to say:
"Roughly 42% of the women taking Viagra reported increased satisfaction during (Redacted) and (Redacted), compared with 28% of women taking the placebo.
Likewise, 57% of the Viagra-treated women reported improved (Redacted) in the (Redacted) area during (Redacted), compared with 44% of women taking the placebo"

No, the point was that the link I included just had total numbers of personnel in each of the three services and didn't go into any more detail such as how many men and women make up the totals. Therefore, the percentages were simplistic in that they're just based on the figures in the first post as a percentage of total personnel from the link.
So in summary, Viagra has a genuine medical application and we don't know the genders of the recipients, or the reason for the prescription and the article does not take into account the relative sizes of the respective forces. Looks like it was a slow news day. Shame, it was an amusing thread.

I think they have only pricked the surface of the uses of Viagra Ninthace, over time I think the hardened scepticism to it's use will soften.
I'll have some of Redacted please ................. not too much, don't want to risk overdose at my age.
I went to see my `quack` the other day after much wrangling with the receptionist about telephone consultations;
Doc;"What is so important,Mr S,that you have to come in person ...?"
Me "Doc , I need some Viagra for my condition when I get up in the mornings,I only need half a tablet"
Doc."What do you think your young `carer` is going to think,or say about that,she may be embarassed about it...?"
Me," I think she`ll be pleased about not having to pick -up pee-sodden slippers any more"
Doc.."Okay,just half a tablet a day,otherwise you`ll need a decorator to repaint the ceiling..."
Hat, coat, off to the chemist....!!
