Subject: the soldiers need help

Are you aware they need food? On anysoldier.com there are requests
for some food.
There is a captain currently requesting Listerine as many are sick and
they want to avoid others getting sick and rubber gloves to help stop
spreading the sore throat and sickness.

They said the food in mess is so riddled with bacteria they are trying
to avoid it (thank you very much Halliburton).
Women soldiers have no Tampax or similar products for their periods.
The water problem is a serious problem.
And this waste of human flesh president dances the night away wasting
money that could help our troops.
I am so angry I am shaking.

They are asking that we send them microwavable items as they are
trying to avoid mess food since it's contaminated.
Also if they are in the field and miss meals it's too bad.
They also need transformers as the power is 220 and they have 110
voltage items.
If you go to www.anysoldier.com you will see requests. It is so
unbelievable. Someone has to do something.

We are sending top ramen as this was requested and Tampax to the women.
We also sent some Easy Mac. We aren't well off but send what we can
when we can.
Dammit this president is so evil. So GD evil!!!!

Specific requests at
http://anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/

Please ask your friends, your employer, anyone who can help

Yes I know it's off topic, but how about an exception in lite of the
subject matter?

I'm glad that soldiers have a way to ask for things they need or just
want that aren't readily available. No one is attempting to be GD
evil. Obviously, you've never been even close to a combat situation.

Your hyper-whining is just that.

Yeah.......it is hyper whining.........I didn't see any serious begging,
mostly asking for the normal stuff that you would not find
oversea.........not much different than the times I've traveled to Europe,
Africa and South America......you start to miss stuff you find back
home......
