Ban on shipment of tobacco for overseas!

I want to invent a time machine... go back to 1944... and put this law in front of FDR... send a copy to Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur... I feel like they could have all used a good laugh.

If supporting our soliders ever becomes a crime. I'll be the first one to go to jail.

I realize the expemption still allows private parties to ship to soldiers from a "gifting" standpoint... but this is precisely the type of law they put into place in order to wedge open the door to passing a more restrictive law against our freedoms later on down the road.

Wow, I have not heard of this before. I guess we owe our thanks to those GREAT boys and girls in Washington, again, for making MORE laws.
