you know you want to, don't be selfish it takes 20 seconds tops.

all the cards are designed by kids.

write a card on this site, it will be reviewed and sent by xerox over seas.

why?

so some kid who doesn't even know the ramifications of the war and are too young to understand, but only wrote the card because a school teacher or family parent has indoctrinated them with their ideals can get a card sent to the troops?

i'm all for this if these cards were from people who can actually understand the war and make decisions for their own.

The cards aren't supporting the war, they're supporting the troops. There is a HUGE difference.

Except, if you do it it IS from people who care... all the kids did was design the image that is on the card itself.







OH, and OP, I did it.

Even tho the kid's do not understand the whole war thing yet, I can tell you (I'm currently on my BMQ course for the canadian forces) that those cards are a moral raiser, even tho i've never recived one, My section 2-ic was telling us about some cards he got while on tour. So they deffinitly appreicate it.

shut the fuck up.  a 10 year old doesnt need to understand the damn war to send a card supporting the troops.  im certain you have never been in combat, neither have I.  but im certain any soldier that gets somthing, anything that would remind them of home would deffiantly give them a boost. 

and your saying some little kid shouldnt go out and make one because they dont know what the war is about.  your pretty fucking ignorant dude. "geteducated" dumbass

i don't really give a shit what you all think.  if i did, i wouldn't have said it.

i just want to keep impressionable young minds out of an issue that has become increasingly partisan.

I happen to agree with you, has anyone here seen generation kill where they all read teh dumb letters from kids?Its letters from people who actually matter to them that make a difference, at least thats what would make a difference to me, but who am I to talk, I haven't even gone on my first tour of duty yet...

It comes up in the book that at the time they made fun of them cause they weren't in combat but after they entered combat and received mail after getting to Baghdad they were happy to receive anything from the outside world pretty much.
