Ban on tobacco urged in military

Their reasoning is that it costs the Fed. Gov. a lot of money to treat smoking related illness.

By that reasoning they should ban ALL federal employees from using tobacco products. Easier to deny payment for tobacco related illness.

Oh, I forgot. Reasoning? Hahahahaha!

My wife and I have discussed selling our house and moving to Costa Rica... seriously.

This kind of stuff just rips the heart out of me - not just the smoking, but the incremental loss of freedoms and strangling grip of government wrapping firmly around the throats of American citizens.

My wife and I are looking at liquidating all of our assets and moving to Clifton Ireland. Don't know if we can do it but the loss of freedom in this country is putrid.
