affreca | How to Win A War

I really try to stay away from politics in this blog. However, I am starting to worry again as my friend Matt is leaving soon to go back to Iraq (I don't quite know when, he from the rumors I've heard he finally met a girl who can stand his courting style and is slightly distracted). But this story interested me. Not just on providing a taste of home for the troops, but the included story about providing the troops with ammunition that actually helps win the the war. All hail the conquering beanie babies. I saw some small ones for a buck at Goodwill, I might just buy some and send them on.
