Tobacco use presents an immediate and real danger for our soldiers who are on the lines today, said Joel Africk of the American Lung Association. More than 400,000 Americans die each year from smoking-related illnesses.
For crying out loud! American Lung are Liars!
I just received this in email:
I have hundreds of pictures of hubs in VN smoking with his mates. That and the cans of beer they got at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The horror!
It struck me about the same, Miss Lion.
They ain't gonna run mine - and I seriously don't think those men in Iraq give a rat's behind what they have to say - as they are busting their butts to protect the rights of those saying it.
During WWII, my Daddy was on the front lines. He smoked
and drank whatever he could get hold of to smoke or drink.
He quit after he got out of that high stress (to put it
mildly) situation. Meantime, facing death a lot of the
time, he didn't fear riding German motorcycles with the
lights out down mountain roads, smoking and drinking cognac.
Not only is this protesting of soldiers smoking ridiculous, but it is a load of crap, as well-my husband works at a VA hospital, and the comment about vets suffering from smoking is laughable and untrue.
