Support Our Troops

Fact:

The military buys over 30 million cartons of cigarettes per year for re-sale in the exchange and commissary stores. The profits fund the Morale, Welfare and Recreational programs.

The Scam On MWR:
Some cigarette companies failed their "duty to inform" the military that MSA fees and assessments do NOT apply to OCONUS (overseas) transactions.

Result:
Over $1 billion in non-required MSA revenue has been collected by these companies from cigarette sales on US Military bases, all of it out of the pockets of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.

That’s according to The Scam on MWR, a website put up by a North Carolina cigarette manufacturer who says its company sells to soldiers at a lower rate: “$16.99 per Carton. Made with Integrity.”

Don't you think the military would know the rules?


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
