Web Site Kicks Sand in Faces of GIs in Iraq Asking for Mats to Ease Hardship of Sleep

Rock I agree it is outrageous, but given the above tidbit, this is not a left versus right issue.

It is --apparently-- a case on an employee who's sympathies are directed by his religion using his work platform inappropriately. Seems to me the company did the right thing in hiring him w/o discrimnation on basis of race, religion, sex, or creed and then did the right thing in firing him because he wanted to use those same factors in deciding whom to provide adequate service, in this case a soldier.

Oh yes, that is an relevent tidbit! I had not heard that untill just now.

There was something else about these guys being foreign nationals operating a business in the united states too... no links, no proof.

I think that we are looking at this the wrong way. I have had numerous platoon sergeants tell me that sleep is a crutch anyway. There will be plenty of time to sleep when they get back. They shouldn't be wasting time with sleep.

I'm going to start the rumor that the business was a Hezbollah front.....
