When you get the thousand yard stare off the faces of our troops that is when YOU will have any say about whether or not a GI can light up a friggin cigarette.

Until then just be damn glad that they do still have both hands to light up a smoke with.

Why don't you just have this goddam thread removed before you piss off all the Vets on FR!

Why do these people have to maximize everything. Tobacco is a mild tranquilizer, not too good for the health over the long run but perhaps not as bad as advertised, that gives instant relief, and has the advantage of in no way impairing the user. Why would the army want to take that away from the fighting men?

It has occurred to me that it would be sad if a bunch of young men went overseas and came home with the habit that didn't have it before. It is damned hard to give up for good.
