Troops in Iraq get beer for the Super Bowl

Link

<snip>

It took three planes to get free beer to troops in Iraq in time for the Super Bowl.

U.S. troops in Iraq will be allowed to drink up to two 12-ounce beers apiece for the Super Bowl, after the U.S. commander in Iraq, Army Gen. Ray Odierno, issued a waiver of the U.S. military’s strict prohibition on alcohol imbibing in the war zone.

What did we get here in Afghanistan? NOTHING :mad:

I would kill for some shitty American beer right about now. 2 beers would definitely put me on my ass, but it would have definitely been well received.

2. Yeppers.

It's 1/4 after 9 in the AM here. Light showers, kinda cold.

3. Wow - I bet. Sorry you didn't get no beer. :(

EDIT: But please don't kill anyone for it.

4. I'll be heading out there next year

not exactly sure where. How are things going in Afghanistan?

[Squatch]

6. Not too bad, tell you the truth.

This place would have a chance at stability if the Talibs just threw in the towel. The Afghan people are tired of them and want to pick up from 30 years of fighting.

5. That sucks!

I'm sorry! It seems those of you who were deployed to Afghanistan have gotten the shaft for too long.
