Few seem to have any idea of what out troops are living with.
My grandson is Airborne TAsk Force in Afghanistan - ‘outside the wire” = 45 miles from the nearest running water, showers, hot meals.
We send wet wipes, tooth paste/powder, gum, foods to supplement the steady MRE diet, insect repellent, socks, underwear, baggies to help keep insects and sand dust out of things...etc...things most people don’t realize they have no access too.
For him to be able to go to a place like this would, at this point, seem like ‘civiliztion!”
BYW, the gum is not just for his teeth = but to help the ears from popping (like in an airplane) when the mortars come in , almost nightly...
But the thing that bothers them the most? The traitors in D.C.
Send him a tin of Boy Scout Pop Corn. Scouts in your area should be selling it now. Get the regular (no chocolate coated or caramel coated) popcorn in the tin size of you coice. It’s decorative for his HOOCH when he’s inside the wire, it’s got munchies and tastes good, Then when the popcorn is gone he has a sealable dust proof container to keep things in.
