TP can also Stand for Terrible Problem

From the Des Moines Register: Folks back home are helping soldiers keep it clean

Just as soldiers and their families are dealing with more news about the lack of armor on some military vehicles in Iraq, we're reminded of another supply problem in the war zones.

"We have to send toilet paper to my nephew who is stationed in Afghanistan," said Nancy Nagla of Des Moines. "And we had to send it over to my sister when the 4th Infantry Division went to Iraq last year. It really galls me families have to send something as basic as toilet paper."

It doesn't involve all military units in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some have adequate supplies of toilet paper, but some rely on shipments from home.

Unreal.

Sometimes the Republicans seem determined to throw away their long standing support from the military and their families.
