I am floored after reading an article in Snopes tonight:

It's one thing to oppose the war, but to send that response is insane on so many levels. Anyone with friends in the military community might want to pass this link along. I've already visited the company's site and voiced my displeasure.

Also.

Shouldn't the GOVERNMENT be providing mats for the soldiers?

After all, the soldiers didnt go there on their own.

GO TEAM BUSH! Put US troops under Iraqi control and then make them buy their own bedding during a war.

What next? Make the soldiers pay for bullets and the gas they use on patrols?

From what I understand, the troops have govt issued mats, but leaders will often purchase superior products to boost morale and/or circumvent the bureaucratic processes within the military to acquire additional/superior items.
