A way cool demonstration of the average American's ingenuity.
People get pretty clever when circumstances demand, especially when circumstances indicate you may get your rear end shot off.
I've been donating used paperbacks and cash for miscellaneous items to our fighters. Perhaps rounding up all those annoying little electric gizmo's the neighborhood kids run all over the place will help our troops, and let me get some additional morning sleep.

LOL! Well, its worth a thought. How about an email address posted by the Army or Marines where people could send their ideas for using home made products. Hints from Hellfire-loise. One interesting fact. The US armed forces used to require that everything issued to the troops was produced by the gov't. now, they query troops for off-the-shelf products they want, and then shop at Wal Mart, etc. for them.
