BTW - regarding my posts #40-41 and Pigs parts This is why we can’t even send any sausage, pepperoni, etc to the troops - NO PORK PRODUCTS allowed in country.

Huh? Is this an Afghanistan thing?

Sausages and other pork items are regularly shipped to and received by Americans in Iraq and pork items (like those gross Vienna sausages) are also sold at the PX. Pepperoni and sausage are available on pizzas at the AAFES Pizza Huts as well as at Iraqi restaurants operating on base.

Interesting.

When my grandson was in Afghanistan, friends and neighbors and the community ‘adopted’ his platoon and we sent over 100 boxes - and I was coordinating with others who did/do the same.

We were all told, emphatically - NO PORK PRODUCTS
