The laws of supply and demand cannot be ignored for long. But we're also looking at the supply and demand of military people. At the very least, they're sacrificing a year, two, or three away from home and family. Many are also risking their lives for us.
There's a well-funded liberal drive to wreck their morale, and hinder recruitment and retention. Some of that is paid with our tax dollars, or tax breaks.
I can tell by the tone of the request that a tiny percentage want a knife simply because it's free. Just by wearing an American uniform, they've earned a Camillus pocket knife. Heck, I'd spend more money than that buying drinks for them if I took them to a bar.
But the overwhelming number of requests are sincere. And while not everyone writes back, some do, and the gratitude they express to us chokes me up. We're the ones that are supposed to be gateful for what are troops are doing to serve us.
So we walk a fine line, but we know that we make a real, positive, difference in troop morale, and in countering those scumbags trying to tear down our military. This is our part of the war effort, and we're volunteers in this, too.
