I saw the original report and it’s a shame that some people just remember the headline and think that this is the norm. Every year, Marine Corps Family Foundation sends Operation Santa-USMC to troops out in the field who barely have a minute to catch their breath. In Afghanistan they live in tents in the most rugged conditions. This might be the only package some of these grunts get their entire deployment. Please check out the website and donate if you feel so inclined.

Those were my thoughts too, Katy. Some light propaganda in this piece so that Obama won’t be seen in a bad light for defunding something that helps build troop morale by allowing them a short relief in the midst of the hell of patrol and battle readiness.
