The United States Armed Forces have been carrying the water for the world for over a hundred years. Everybody hates America until there is a crisis, then the first thing out of their mouth is "America Help Us". Even when foreign troops are killed they can manage to put the blame on America. Obama will make them all very happy by blaming every ill in the world on America. This is not at all surprising to me.

Our soldiers NEED time to let loose and not think about the crazy place they are in. Thanks to our troops, stupid reporters like this have the freedom to knock what the soldiers do during their "off" time, if you can call it that. I support our troops and anything that gives them a little bit of sanity in an insane situation is a good thing. Mal, what do you do in your "off" time? Sit around thinking of ways to pick at our soldiers morale? Get a clue and leave these soldiers alone. What they do is survive! And to all you soldiers out there, serving anywhere.....God bless you and the task you are accomplishing! The USA stands strong! This story is crap, you are right about that, Donald!

I am no military expert but I think troops that have a reminder of what exactly they are fighting for is a good thing. These activities are all examples of what we enjoy at home. FREEDOM. Why should we send troops off to fight and we enjoy the fruits of their labor and they suffer in all regards. Hell a guy in jail can have sex with his wife whats wrong with a troop squeezing a stress ball shaped like a breast? Nothing at all. Actually I want one.

Canadian troops are fighting and dying, at a rate per size of military, in greater numbers than US troops. It's your kooks and krooks in government that set off the military disaster in Iraq, otherwise neither coalition or US troops would still be dying over there. For a "news" organization that is supposedly supportive of the troops, the war effort, the neo-con propoganda machine and the old warrior POW making a last ditch effort at the White House, I'm surprised you printed this trash. All I can say to this wanker is take a ride in an unarmed humvee, by yourself, along a dark, mined road. This is typical of Fox garbage “journalism”.

The reason they have salsa dancing and yoga classes is to take the soldiers mind off the war for a little bit. Most people do not understand what it is like to have to think about dying constantly...you can be laying in your bed and BOOM! a motar kills your buddy right next to you. So before anyone criticizes people wanting to feel like they are not there for an hour or so, go sit your freedom mooching butt over there for 15-18 months. As far as the alcohol goes, who cares if Aussie troops or british troops drink, we are Americans and we are responsible for the majority of what happens over there. No one wants some young Joe getting hammered and killing a bunch of civilians or offending some Iraqi or Afghani. Being a soldier that just returned from a tour in Iraq, that is crap.
