Hagal considering banning tobacco on US Installations and ships.

No tattoo's, smoking, dipping... Soon you'll have to be a vegan that drives a smart car to serve.

Why stop at tobacco products? Let's just demo or repurpose all those Class Six stores too. Alcoholism among service members has a costly affect as well. While we're at it, remove all those fatty burgers, greasy french fries, cheesesteaks, and the like served in the DFAC's worldwide. Whether right or wrong, tobacco use has always been sort of a coping mechanism for troops to deal with the daily rigors of providing defense for this country. For the love of sweet baby Jesus, they need to stop poking the nest.

If you really want to change the US military all you have to do is drive all the manly men out.

So logically the next step is to ban the use of tobacco products by servicemen 24-7. If it's all about health care costs.

I am not sure Hegel would have approved of this limitation.
