Obama did this. Do you REALLY TRULY have to ask? What they are taking away is MORALE builders. Take away the “little things” that makes being where you are a teensy bit like what GI’s call “the world”.
How the hell did we “win” WWII with the Red Cross serving coffee and donuts, with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope coming to every battle zone with their shows, and with many, many movie stars coming to say hello.
How the hell did we last in Korea, again with Bob Hope and his company, with the latest movies, even movies shown every night in the well-deck of my ship(waves permitting).
Then Bob Hope was still there in Vietnam, trying to raise the (pardon the expression) morale of the men.
It is obvious what “they” are trying to do. And there is a military command either STUPID or GUTLESS enough to go along with this.
Amen!

I agree with both of you. We should do what we can to make life more pleasant for those who are serving.
