Beer For soilders!

I gotta admit this was pretty creative! Poor guys!

To Sgt. Dale Rogers of Company C, 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, the near beer that soldiers sometimes get in Kuwait and Iraq tastes like something drained through a wet sock.

But that’s the closest the beer-loving Strike Force (2nd Infantry Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team) soldier will get to his favorite drink during the next few months of his deployment in Iraq.

The cyber-savvy soldier, though, has plans to make up for the lost consumption during mid-tour leave to Qatar and when he and his mates return to the States next year. And it won’t cost him a cent.

Rogers is the creative force behind www.beerforsoldiers.com, a Web site which allows true patriots to buy soldiers a beer online.

Great post, Jana! This needs one of my AUDIO TRACKS. It's already past TWO in the morning in Dohar, Qatar -- or Austin. All the rappers and hard rockers, out the door and headed somewhere else. Just a few older tech sergeants and warrant officers left -- the beer long since lost its chill, but nobody cares. What else could it be but ...
