"I've been donating used paperbacks and cash for miscellaneous items to our fighters. Perhaps rounding up all those annoying little electric gizmo's the neighborhood kids run all over the place will help our troops, and let me get some additional morning sleep."
LOL! Well, its worth a thought. How about an email address posted by the Army or Marines where people could send their ideas for using home made products. Hints from Hellfire-loise. One interesting fact. The US armed forces used to require that everything issued to the troops was produced by the gov't. now, they query troops for off-the-shelf products they want, and then shop at Wal Mart, etc. for them.

LOL! Of course the Marines have to make it more dramatic (though a bit redundant). :D
We poor Army slobs just used the shorter version (at least the ones I know) ... it seems easier to shout at someone that way.
I have to be careful...I sat there for a minute thinking" whats wrong with that line?"
I'm on long term narcotic pain relievers and sometimes I have to read things 4 or 5 times to fully comprehend intent. :-)
Marine, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Police, Fire, EMS all the same....Hero's of America....
Bad apples in every crate......including ours {:^)

Heck, they don't even have to do that.
Take some camo netting and string it up between a couple of net supports and fly the plane into the netting.
No muss, no fuss.
Of course the moron, left out Army.....Sheez
Dad was in Army Air Corps.....
As I said...we're all on same team
Neat article.
Some of my best friends are Marines, and we rib each other all the time.
... and our team is second to none.

Thanks. I knew I wasn't quite "getting" it.
"Neat article."
