In combat, that’s the LEAST of their worries.

IDIOT administration.

They won’t ban the sale of porn in the BX why in the world would they all of a sudden ban the legal product of tobacco?

As a crusty sergeant once told my then-shavetail brother who is allergic to cigarette smoke, “Lieutenant, no smokee...no workee!”

It’s okay for the Comander in Chief to smoke but not the front line soldier. Brilliant.

This guy, Smith, wants to force troops with high powered weapons, under a great deal of stress in the field, to quit nicotine?

I would SO want to see him try to relieve one of our soldiers of his Marlboros, or of his chew.

Go to Flight Deck Control on a CV between launches & recoveries, and you’ll see smoke so thick the Handler can’t see the Ouija board! Every warrant, chief, & flight deck director lighted up.

Watch the recruiters close up shop. That’s what the big-O is hoping for.

So they ban smoking. What are they going to do if someone is caught smoking? Cut off a hand? That would be the Kenyan way.

Assign a nanny to every platoon. Stupid-asses govern us! Why not make everyone else in the country quit first? All the liberals want to do is screw over the military. They hate them.

Next up from the nanny staters. Alcohol!

No word yet on trying to save military healthcare dollars but getting rid of the homosexuals. I don't think we'll see that "study."

They did say GIs aren’t allowed to mess around with hookers.

The navy banned tobacco on subs, wonder if this is the reason for the uptick in accidents.

Tobacco keeps you alert when you are exhausted. It is a stimulant in extreme conditions and heightens your senses.

I wonder how many will die because of this.

Now, wait a minute . . . Obama, our Kenyan-born, illegal alien, so called commander-in-chief smokes . . . in our White House, no less . . . so it’s ok for the supposed commander-in-chief (who, by the way, doesn’t even have a Selective Service Number), but it’s not ok for our GIs!
