    Condom-issue controversy

    The Norwegian cabinet’s decision to issue condoms to soldiers in Germany triggered a protest campaign said to have collected 400,000 signatures. The controversy reflected wider social concerns about the conduct and health of troops serving abroad. Military records later indicated that approximately five to six percent of brigade personnel contracted sexually transmitted diseases despite the distribution policy.
