I posted this yesterday and no one had anything to say about it.

OT a little...in my paper today..an article about rules for sending pkgs to the troops..." Do not include any material that could be considered contrary or offensive to the Islamic faith." Really?

Don't send any copies of the Constitution, then.

LOL I'm not too sure I'd even know what those offensive things might be.

Yes, really. The world is complex, and military action does not want any distraction, even righteous distraction.

This is SOP -- when I was assigned OS they had instructions for us to give to family and friends of what to send and what not to send. Basically anything that would offend the Indiginous culture.

We are trained to consider ourselves guests in the country and as such must act in accordance with and with respect for local customs.

You know, the stuff that they don't give a SH*T about when they come to our country.
