I thought smokes helped soldiers deal w/stress of the battlefield.

I wonder what the smoking/non-smoking stats are for PTSD patients vs the rest of the military population.

The tobacco industry must have fallen behind in their payments to obama.

There’s a colonizing force invading across our southern border and the DOD thinks tobacco is the enemy???

Protecting our country from invasion is one of the FEW obligations of the federal government under the Constitution. They can’t seem to do that ONE job, but they seem to find the time, manpower, and money to do everything that ISN’T in the Constitution.

The whole damn government needs to be fired!!
