You don’t care one wit about “having a strong and robust military.” I have seen you deride military members on this board

Too funny to warrant a response.

a blatantly obvious lie

You didn't read the DOD memo, did you?

For DoD, this equates to an estimated 175,000 current Active Duty Service members who will die from smoking

In a 19 year period from 1980-1999, 32k servicemembers died from various causes.

Of that, slightly less than 6k died of “illness”. “Illness” is not defined, but I can sure imagine that not ALL are smoking related.

So, using that DoD “memo” for anything other than propaganda is disingenuous.

“Too funny to warrant a response.”

If I had the time I would dig up your comments. You are a nasty little imp that almost always defaults to personal attackes.

“You didn’t read the DOD memo, did you?”

No, there is no need. The claim doesn’t even pass the smell test for sanity.

Fools fall for nonsense.
