I'm about to go out on a limb here, and probably will attract the ire of many.
It's women. Plain & simple. Women (soccer moms, etc.) have brought the U.S. into jelly-like complacency.
"Oh NO! little Johnny might get HURT!" The more comfortable we become as a nation, the more the women want to protect us from ourselves. I mean, I know testosterone is a TERRIBLE thing (lol), but apparently we men can't do ANYTHING without hurting someone's FEELINGS or making them feel alienated. So, it is up to the womb-bearers to save us. I could get highly philosophical on this, going back to the beginning of time, but I'll spare us the litany & wait to see how badly I get crushed for this post.

Edit: wait! truly it is the MENs fault, for needing to get laid soooooo bad that they will give such arguments credence & actually think that they are doing mankind a service. No-backbone-having wussies! Come on, it's not LOVE, it's just vagina!
