I am anti-war, anti-military and occasionally anti-soldier, and I LOVE the idea of sending ebooks to soldiers. Especially Smashwords ebooks by little-known authors.
More diversity, more perspectives, more education, more free exchange of information are the only ways we're going to get past the notion that the country with the most guns should be setting the rules for everyone.

Whether a soldier in the midst of a battle, or a kid away at summer camp, a care package from home is a little touch of "We care, and we will be here when you get home."
Why they are fighting is a separate issue from their being away from the familiar where, ultimately, they would still rather be -- no matter what their personal motivation for being "there".
Well said, Elf.
