"Doesn't he know smoking's bad for his health? :^) If he went through the Marine confidence course and a battlefield every now and then, let him coose his own habits for himself.

Is that a Marlboro? ; ) (By the way, I don't think I publicly thanked you for your service in the Navy yesterday. THANK YOU.)
To: WifeMotherDaughterSister
I wonder if Marlboro will respond to the man?
We tried at the beginning of OIF to get Phillip Morris to send some but was soundly rejected due to all the litigation of cigarette mfg,

Troops & tobacco: A hard habit for America's soldiers to break In a scathing four-page letter in June to U.S. Smokeless Tobacco - the Connecticut company that sent Marines products after the invasion of Iraq - two congressmen compared the company's donation to the U.S. tobacco industry's "long and disgraceful history" of giving away products to troops. "Your actions recall tobacco companies' distribution of free cigarettes to soldiers during World War II, which caused hundreds of thousands of servicemen to become addicted and die of tobacco-related illnesses," wrote Rep. Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif., and Bill Janklow, the former South Dakota representative recently jailed for a traffic-related manslaughter conviction.
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco officials defended the gift, saying the intent was to "provide product to current adult consumers who were unable to purchase the product."
Other tobacco manufacturers such as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. say they have abandoned efforts to give away cigarettes to soldiers. "We are not sending cigarettes to troops in Iraq or elsewhere nor are we currently investigating that option," said Carole S. Crosslin, an R.J. Reynolds spokeswoman.

Bill Janklow, the former South Dakota representative recently jailed for a traffic-related manslaughter conviction. Ummm which one is more hazardous? (Janklow ran a stop sign at high speed and ran down a guy on a motorcycle who had the right of way.)

Liberals would go nuts if we started a "Smokes for Troops" campaign. I'd contribute.
