Meanings of elements

ROD within MILITARY
…or: TWO HANDS with SWINGING DOG BACULUM, one's LANCE, SPEARING WEAPON WITH LONG WOODY SHAFT
…or: HAND on ROD with HEAD SLIDING and STAKE IN NIGHT SOIL, the DOG
…or: TWO HANDS on WILD DOG
…or: SHOOTING TAPERED WOODY DRIVING INTO SOIL with THE HEAD and ERECTION SCREWING

「Rod in the military」or「erection screwing with shooting tapered woody driving into soil」both allude to some backside shafting, the proverbial 'pain in the ass' due to insufficient use of any lubricant, to mean as it still does today in English, to THREATEN, REBUKE, ADMONISH, PUNISH, COMMAND as it relates to any aspect of the term, 'fucking asshole.' To GUARD AGAINST and EXHORT, the first two listed Chinese meanings, seem to suggest「cover yer ass」and the spirit of「go for it, go for it all」respectively, each from the opposite perspectives of two parties within the same scenario.
「Using two hands」with「grasp a copulating dog」in order to prevent extended access might refer to an owner rebuking the dog, or also the dog's feeling for the owner at that moment, or the dog's feelings for a bitch at the moment (again with these different perspectives):「dog baculum head sliding with screwing erection.」…although, applying 'dog' as a euphemism for one's penis is equally valid with this glyph as it applies to human beings.
Perhaps brandishing a「swinging lance with both hands」as a clear warning to stay away as a THREAT, REBUKE, ADMONISHMENT, PUNISHMENT, COMMANDMENT.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: to guard against; to exhort; to admonish or warn; to give up or stop doing sth; Buddhist monastic discipline; ring (for a finger)
Japanese EDRDG: commandment
Unihan extended: warn, caution, admonish

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
