Reposting Stupid Jokes and Supporting The Troops Ain't the Same Fucking Thing.

Here's another way to support the troops that doesnt use stupid I-Wish-I-Was-A-Meme jpegs:

WRITE TO A SERVICEPERSON!

Tell them that you care enough to post a ridiculous Santa joke about them, but not enough to actually communicate with a legislator.

Go to the US Armed Forces News Service www.usafns.com, Go to soldiersangels.com and join their letter-writing team. Go to the American Legion's letter writing team www.legion.org, Or Adopt A Sericemember at tellthmthanks.com

Here's a non-Santa-Joke-related idea: EMAIL THE PRESIDENT! OR SECRETARY PANETTA.

(Go Google him. We'll wait.)

Email your congressman, email your Senator. (I recognize you'd have to be smart enough to know who your representatives are in order to communicate with them, but try hard.) Email Secretary Clinton, email Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and remind him that we are not the UN's only peacekeeping ally. You know, actually tell your appointed and elected officials --people that can actually DO something about it-- how you feel about our soldiers in foreign land.

Rather than posting poorly written Santa jokes with little passive-aggressive guilt trips at the end, do something that'd actually HELP.
