Guys being a service member stationed overseas I cant tell you how much these meant to me. It takes you to a better place even for just a moment. Hell even if you sent a simple "thank you" note to a random member it means more than you think. [Reply]

In two of these packages I've put some Instant snow in the package. Enough for 3 gallons of snow. You use cold water and you can have a snowball fighet in the desert.

That's pretty damn cool! How much is that stuff? I'll send you a little money so you can buy even more of it for them. [Reply]

Over $100 in the boxes not counting the shipping that I pay out of my own pocket. It was more expensive this time because of the snow.

Pm me and I'll send you a paypal address.
PM Sent - I was actually specifically wondering how much the snow stuff was. I'll bet that will give some troops some well-deserved fun! [Reply]
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but aren't they already getting paid to go over there? It's kinda part of the job description, isn't it? I mean, no one around here is offering to send me money or cookies or an Uno game when I pony up to go to work in the morning... [Reply]

It's hard to know where to start with shit like this, if you really think there is no difference between being at war (or whatever theyre calling it now) and sitting behind a desk (or whatever you do) just because you both get paid money to do it, you've got 9/11-truther levels of critical analysis skills.
I think this thread's really cool - "Support the/our Troops" is usually a meaningless slogan used to deflect criticism from foreign policy but you're actually supporting them by doing this. [Reply]

I could list many reasons why I think you're completely wrong and off base. This would turn very political, very fast though. Instead, I'll just ask you to please respect the fact that the OP is doing something to help people, as are those who chip in a small amount. Is it too much to ask that you let us just feel good about helping our troops out? It would be very cool of you to just go back, delete your post, and let those involved feel good about what they're doing without any BS. Else we'll bring you cookies... Antifreeze Oreos... [Reply]
