Some brave man or woman, in some sandy shi+hole someplace, and we are going to deny them cigarettes for crying out loud?

I guess our troops will have to settle for second-hand bomb smoke.
To: Nachum
which also expanded smoke-free areas on American military bases
So it is not really a smoke free policy is it?

What’s the old saying? When a soldier gets shot, the first things he want is a cigarette and his Mother.

he gets to spend $1.5 BILLION dollars of taxpayer money on himself and his family, so he doesn’t care how much cigarettes cost- He isn’t subject to the same draconian laws as he imposes on everyone else- Heck- he probably gets them free anyways-

The new tobacco policy would increase prices on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco sold at U.S. military commissaries and post exchanges to match the price of tobacco products sold off base, which are subject to state and local taxes. The meddling, micromanaging POS just can't keep his ignorant self out of anything including those areas he knows nothing about. So what if some members of the military chose to smoke. It's always been so and tobacco has been tax free in the military and is considered a benefit. Don't need to be reducing benefits where the pay is still not all that great for the lower enlisted.

Next, they’ll pass out carrot sticks fresh from Moo’s garden and ban cigarettes altogether.

I quit smoking many years ago, but I remember back when I was a young grunt in Vietnam, I would go for months when the only fun I got out of life was smoking cigarettes and scratching my crotch rot.

I don’t smoke cigarettes. Don’t like em. Don’t see what they do for you.
But this SOB and his liberal allies make me want to light one up, just to piss them off.

This muslim administration is also charging people that do merchandise for the bases to use the EAGLE,GLOBE, and ANCHOR on product. Something the American people OWN! They think this is the NFL and you have to pay for the license of a team. These mother fn muslims should die.
I pray this president is loaded with AIDS.
