“you have no problem with this”

Oh really

Do you have a job where people are trying to kill you 24/7 Do you have to wear helmet and flak gear every time you go outside and maybe inside too every time an alert goes off?
And do you cover your mouth and nose constantly because that blast furnace air carries 1000 years of powdered shit and other nasty stuff that turns your stomach and guts inside out?

the military has been sucking it up and “setting the example” ever since Jimmuh Carter started wearing sweaters in the WH .. like anyone else has noticed

how about if the White House starts setting an example
Oh no, I bettin’ Mama Robinson call Jesse Jackson if they set her thermostat at 77

Exactly. Seems most of these people envision Afghanistan as being "garrisoned" by 9-5 workers who commute to work each day from their luxurious home.
