I'm pretty sure that they are getting paid for it, and in addition, are getting free room and board, college education assistance packages, will get free medical for the rest of their lives (VA), good home loan and business loan packages, etc.

I mean, shit...it's not like they are a bunch of third world refugees eating sand to stay alive.

I just think it's strange that people think that they need "help" when there is actually a shit ton of people around the globe who actually, truly need "help" but they don't count for two shits because they aren't dressed in camo with a US flag shoulder patch, carrying a machine gun and being a part of an foreign occupying army somewhere. It's not like they were drafted or pressed ganged and being forced to serve somewhere against their will.
So don't contribute. Go back to your awsome-ly self-centered life.

As a person who has been on the other end, and received care packages addressed to "Any Serviceman" from middle schools, old-folks homes, and people like Big Red Chief- my morale soared. When you sleep on a cot, or in a combat vehicle for 365 days, eat MREs two out of three meals, drink refreshingly hot water on a 115 degree day, getting something-- ANYthing in the mail is great.

Bottom line- it's not about the chow, or the DVDs, books, magazines, etc. It's knowing you're not forgotten. It's knowing that some folks, who put the elected officials in charge of sending your ass 7,800 miles away from home haven't grown apathetic, disinterested, or indifferent about your fate. Yes, you're right; no one forced them to enlist. Regardless, they do your bidding and carry scary machineguns and wear the U.S. flag like a bunch of witless fucks that you'd like to categorize them as.

So, again; just move along. Free Tibet or something.

I can't believe that anyone on here would be so stupid to come in here and shit on this thread. You need a vacation from the Planet.

If you don't want to contribute, that's fine. But what problem could you possibly have with others who want to send a little bit of extra support to a few people who are performing a dangerous job on our behalf?

Are you really this dense? or just an asshole who doesn't care if he hurts others?

Do you really think its about the Beef Jerkey and peanuts? they are starving and we need to feed them? You really think that?

Go see my posts in DC. My political view is clear. But, supporting these troops serving in the big sandbox have absolutely nothing to do with politics.

It's about letting your Dad, Brother, neighbor, friend etc. know someone gives a chit they are in hostile territory where everyone is trying to kill them thousands of miles away. That we are thinking of them and hope they make it back safely.

And these are going out to Planeters family or friends. Not just some generalized "any serviceman" mailbox.

Did you really feel the need to post in the thread that this is a supid idea? Why post at all? Just ignore the thread.

You don't give a shit about our soldiers, fine. You want to call soldiers baby killer? want to spit on them? Whatever your issue is, keep it out of this thread.

Did you find anybody?

I'm sure my wife knows plenty who could use it.

We have an officer here who just left in February, don't think he is overseas yet.

yeah, they are going out to Buck's best friend and Gracie Dean's brother-in law.

But there will be more soon. I've got the money for the instant snow and our other goodie account is not bankrupt yet. Especially if the people who said they would contribute follow through and actually contribute.

they're doing it so you have the right to post something like this and not be arrested, or put to death for your views. you should thank them. if you were somewhere else in the world, things might be different.
