I was just doubting that soldiers have a greater need for this kind of public support than the disadvantaged, because they can buy them theirselves. But that's my personal opinion, I cannot base it on any scientific fact.

when this conflict started I collected hundreds of tree books from used bookstores and sent them to "any soldier" in country. at my own expense. reading provides a form of relaxation and escape these kids desperately need. if you disagree with it. fine. go find an unemployed person and make them feel good about themselves, just don't diss the troops
