The Defense Department wants to ban tobacco sales on bases and ships.

The serial sodamizers don't like the boyz smoking so ban smoking 1 /Sarc

This is the dumbest chit I've seen yet. Allow queers openly serve in the military, celebrate butt flocking day, and have all sorts of protections against "descrimination", but turn around and outlaw smoking because (unlike AIDS and all the other (literal) chit that queers spread around) smoking is harmful.

Libertarian my butt.

People who pretend their desire to dictate how other people live and behave is "libertarian" are lying jerks.

I’m not quite sure which is better:
A drunken soldier or a smoke free soldier.

I thought one bullet does more damage than one cigarette. I may be wrong. oh ya, then there’s Agent Orange... hmm, yeah, soldiers shouldn’t smoke,it’s bad for their health LOL

PTSD, yup,much healthier than smoking cigarettes.

Just a thought....Maybe gay soldier shouldn’t be allowed to smoke.

Geez,if a man wants a smoke, give it him! After all, he’s fighting for his Country! Give him a cigar!

Times have changed...

One NEW warning on e-cigaretes, from Altria, maker of Marlboros, reads in part: “Nicotine is addictive and habit forming, and is very toxic by inhalation, in contact with the skin, or if swallowed.”

Buck and quarter/ctn when I was in.

I think it is very cool how you demand control over the personal behavior of men and women who are willing to die for your right to say it.

Forgive me if I overlooked the obvious--which branch of the military did you serve?

[what's up]

Cannabis OK, abortion OK, sodomy OK.

Only nicotine is evil.

So will soldiers soon be allowed cannibas?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Can’t they use a patch? /S

[clintonh8r]

He’s part of the cost/benefit gang, I guess. Very similar to the coming death panels, by the way.

[what's up]

You should have a big problem with the latest attack on our military. Nicotine has given death threatened soldiers many a moral boost when they were in the trenches separated from friends and family and a warm fire while protecting people like you from danger.

Fewer smokers mean costs go down

And this is the very thinking of Michelle Obama as she deprives our kids of anything good to eat. The thinking is that depriving kids of food will make health costs go down. Social tinkering is WRONG! And ESPECIALLY when done to our soldiers.

A carton of Salem in the 60’s in Bangkok could get you-Oh,wait that’s not allowed either!

[wheat_grinder]

Today is Shabbat. I cannot reply properly to your idiotic post.

[SVTCobra03]

I agree. And in addition, smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.

“I” demand?

No - your employer, the DOD, demands this.

“My” response would be Libertarian, namely, take responsibility for my own choices.

Re: “which branch of the military did you serve?”

I’m 64.

What branch and what war do you think I served in?
