Liberals would go nuts if we started a "Smokes for Troops" campaign.

My daughter adopted a soldier in Iraq. Between she and I we sent care packages to him The number one thing on his list was smokes. When she first came in contact with him he said he was down to smoking 10 cigarettes a day because there wasn't any. We sent him three cartons of smokes and enough food and snacks and junk food, that the post office made us send it in two packages.

He's back from Iraq now and safe. He told my daughter that when soldiers get goodies packages they share with their buddies. So if you send a package, more than one soldier will enjoy it.

Alas, the forces of PC struck the military re: smokes. Used to be, they were tax free up until the late 80's. 10 bucks a carton. "Someone" complained, and they jacked up the price to the same price as everyone else. Except, no taxes are paid, AAFES just pockets the difference. Copenhagen has been in the past very good to our troops. A silvertop (metal) roll of chew is a hot commodity. Send a few off to our boys, everyone.
