Insulting...

I read an article this morning in regards to our troops in Afghanistan. Apparently the military is not going to renew contracts with food vendors at the bases overseas because the officers believe the soldiers need to, "remember they are at war and not in an amusement park."

What in the hell are they thinking? We have placed American institutions, such as food, overseas since WWII when Coca-Cola manufactured soft drinks overseas for the troops fighting in the war. Now they're going to deprive our troops in Afghanistan, that have nothing, of their Pizza Hut and Burger King. That is ridiculously insulting. I can't believe it.

It might make me a little more angry just because I work for AAFES and my company is what puts those things over there. I'm curious to see if it was the military going to AAFES and they agreed or what happened. If HQ agreed to pull out of the warzones that defeats the purpose of our slogan. "We go where you go."



I'm angry.
