Top General Bars Fast Food on Afghan Bases

(CBS) In Afghanistan, the top U.S. military commander believes life is a little too comfortable for some of the men and women in uniform.

One example is a garden at headquarters, featured in CBS National Security Correspondent David Martin’s recent “60 Minutes” interview with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

“What do you think of that garden where you can sip cappuccino under the shade?” Martin asked.

“I’d like to turn it into a rifle range,” McChrystal said.

He hasn’t done that, but McChrystal is shutting down fast-food restaurants on military bases in Afghanistan - such as Burger King - and cutting back on first-run movies.

As a senior adviser to the general explained it, “This is a war zone, not an amusement park.”

FFFUUUUUUUUU!!!! There goes the morale!

Thinking about sending a care package to our troops?

VI. Don’t put “Word Finds” in your care package. How effing old do you think your audience is over here? The minimum age of a person to join the military is seventeen, and that’s with their parents permission. Don’t insult our intelligence. Yes, we joined the military, but we can also tie our own shoes and operate a phone.You may as well just send us coloring books or a poster-sized letter that says we support you retarded morons. []

Disclaimer: I love each and every care package I receive. Hopefully you have a sense of humor if you choose to read on.

When I moved to Camp Basra which is operated by the Royal Air Force and the British Army, I discovered Zoo and Nuts magazines, they are fully nude weekly lad magazines published in the UK. If you go to a US camp in Iraq or Afghanistan, you are limited to Maxim and FHM because of the G.O. #1.
Let me tell you something about General Order #1

In other words, U.S. troops aren’t allowed to drink alcohol and to have pornographic materials while in Iraq or Afghanistan.
There is a reason behind G.O.#1 
We don’t want drunk and horny American troops running around the A.O.R.

I think the video speaks pretty well for itself.
