Vodka For Veterans

So, there's probably going to be a few people out there who dissapprove of this idea, from Mr. Joe Nedlin in Colorado. He's begun marketing a brand of vodka, the profits of which will go to support veterans. There are, of course, going to be people offended by the fact that this man is selling alcohol in the name of our national heros- but, in my humble, camoflauge-laden opinion, it's not too likely to be military folks that are upset by this. Sure, it's some of our own that are going to be helped by this, and that's one great reason not to protest- our veterans and war fighters can use all the support they can get! However, any veteran, soldier, marine, sailor, airman or guardsman- past, or present- is likely to be aware that, among us uniformed service men and women, alcohol is as American as apple pie. There are folks in the service who don't drink- plenty that never have- but, as a rule, the weekends are reserved for late nights, and rotating designated driver shifts.
