Ironically this would be perfectly legal if the army was doing it.
Recently a musician attempted to sue the Army for its use of his music played at very high volumes to 'interrogate' prisoners at Guantanamo. The case was rejected because the US government has a blanket right to use any US copyright material for national security.
So the Army is presumably free to pirate all the copies of 'Two and a Half Men' it needs to keep it's troops in a fighting mood.
I don't think a lawsuit was ever filed. At the time there was speculations as to whether it was considered a public performance and whether it was considered US jurisdiction for copyright.
"Any State, any instrumentality of a State, and any officer or employee of a State or instrumentality of a State acting in his or her official capacity, shall not be immune [...] for a violation of any of the exclusive rights of a copyright owner" 17 U.S.C. § 511 http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#511
No such law, in fact explicitly no sovereign immunity.
Deicide's Fuck Your God was used in American prisons in Iraq. Metallica's Enter Sandman was and still is used in Gitmo as far as I know. AC/DC and Barney have been used as well. Psyops doesn't leave scars so it's not torture, naturally.
