Man...freedoms are slowly creeping away day by day.

I'm with ya. The same way we can go off to war at 18 but can't have a drink til 21. Maybe a military ID should bypass that law. :-)

Alright, fine, ban tobacco in the Military.

While you're at it, ban Alcohol for all members of Congress.

This is fuggin retarded.

I remember when they first started this crap when I was in the airforce. It started with smoking areas. Their worried about productivity, I remember 3/4th of my time in the military being spent waiting around for stuff to happen.

Hurry Up And Wait ... it may be a cliche but it's still the truth! :-)

Big Daddy Govt telling you what to do and not to do. And tomorrow when you get up, it will be worse!

They have been saying this for as long as I have been in. There are a few smoke free bases, but I think that is as far as they will take it...never know for sure, though.

My guess is that Jack Smith and Cynthia Smith are smokers.
They work in the Pentagon.
They aren't allowed to smoke at work.
Tit for tat, ya know? Maybe if Jack and Cynthia were dropped in a trench under heavy gunfire for a few days, their recommendation might come in a little different.
Or maybe a few of the boys in the dirt could have a little "alone time" with them?

I wouldn't be surprised to see an article soon about someone wanting to ban guns in the military. :-)

I love how President Obama has to apologize for his cigarette smoking and act like he's going to be spanked for having a smoke. You're literally supposed to be the alpha male of the country and you're apologizing for using a freedom so that nanny groups won't harass you? Please. Like him or hate him the guy's the President and should behave accordingly.

They have been talking about this since befire I came in...over 23 years ago, and the only thing that has changed...

- No more smoking on government buildings
- Dedicated smoking areas outside

I might support that bill:-)

Good point

Ain't democracy great?

I think if they pass this the troops should turn to these pentagon health officials pushing this and hand them their rifles and say "you fight this f@#king war, you get shot at!" ...buncha bastards f@#ks. Heaven forbid our boys actually enjoy a smoke while fighting in that 120 degree hell hole of sand....I am sooo sick of all these politicians deciding what's best for people...let the people decide!!!
[Reply]

Makes me sick at times.....I have another name for carpetbagers but I'll leave that out of the discussion. :-)

We use to have a platoon office where we'd hold platoon meetings in the barracks. Half of us smoked, the other half didn't. I just remember the "other half" turning green most of the time. :-) :-)

Then fight your own war, "pentagon health officials".
