#1 But, but, it's bad for his health! How can the military allow this when smoking is prohibited in all righteously enlightened workplaces? There are children in Fallujah, being exposed to the evil of second-hand smoke! Oh, the humanity! Atrocity alert! Worse than Abu Ghraib! Free Mumia, free dope, free lunch! Bush can't talk, worst president in history. Hey, don't bogart that joint, man.

#2 The Brass should promote this soldier on valor alone; he is an inspiration in the war, just as Jessica Lynch was! If he has had the opportunity at enemy kills, bravo the more! He reminds me of the Kurt Russell character in the movie "Soldier"!

#3 Ol Dad tells of being on operations in WWII (aka The Big One) where the only thing taken from rations were the smokes and the candy, it being a different time, them in charge cranked out a new ration of nothing but smokes and candy.

#4 I can remember doing that myself.

And then, one day, there weren't full packs of smokes, only those 4-cigarette "courtesy packs" they handed out on airlines at the time.

And then there were none.

The virtuous, like the poor, will always be with us...

#5 The real danger Corporal Miller is going to face will be when he gets back home to Kentucky and young women start lauching themselves at him like RPG's.

#6 Nice relief from the ordeal of Fallujah. Would be nicer if the military's PR flacks could plant or create more stories like this to knock the MSM off-balance and displace their gloom and doom spin.
