"Donations" needed for US Forces

[JFB]

I just don't understand why the needs of our troops are not provided by Goverment
(not the first time support from citizens)

Because the illegals (poor, opresssed immigrants) are more important.

Doesn't sound like the Troops are in need of anything , well maybe a shower and a bunk :wink:
Locals just want to give a little extra which is great.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Some of the troops who helped with evacuations in Afghanistan are beginning to return to Fort Bragg, and there's a way the community can help make their transition home a little easier.

Volunteer groups are assembling welcome kits filled with basic necessities like granola bars, bed sheets and laundry hampers to help troops returning to the barracks get settled without rushing to unpack.

Most of the US aid goes to Afganistan to help them recover from us.....

The rest of our money just gets wasted....

It's a nice gesture. I liked getting stuff when I served in Iraq. My favorites were letters addressed to "any soldier". I'd grab a handful and respond. Mostly little kids.

Great move! It isn't so much what is given, but the "thank you" thought behind it.
