Hey, you Doc's want to send out troops something, send them more ammo. Their POS so-called leader, barrak HUSSEIN obama won't even send them the troops they need to carry on the fight against the enemy, probably because the obamanista is on their side anyways, so send our troops ammo and leave the kids alone with their candy. Can you imagine a police officer suddenly finding himself in a fight for his life and calling for help? Then his liberal worthless POS boss just considers the request but does nothing. This is exactly what is happening.

Not the worse idea in the world, but I know personally I'd have rather had a can of sardines.
Ammo is always good PI, can't ever have enough of that. I hope ol'boy makes a decision soon.

First, I agree with all the posts above. Second, if a PARENT believes the child has had too much candy, then they should DISCUSS it with the kids and have them GIVE the candy to soldiers- not sell it. We need to instill pride in doing the right thing for it's own value- something I think is sorely lacking in today's kids. A thing well done should be a source of pride!

My daughter is Type 1 diabetes. I think this is a great idea for her. She can't eat all that candy but still wants to go trick O treating.

Great idea for diabetics.

If the dentists want to help children AND the troops then everyone else should give them the respect they deserve! They are doing a great thing! Kids eat too much sugar and it is bad for their teeth and bodies! The troops need all the help they can get may it be candy , ammunition or baby wipes and slim jims. I think everyone should make at least ONE care package and send it to the troops for the holidsy! That is the least you can do rather then get all mouthy on here posting this garbage. Otherwise go volunteer somewhere and help others with your time! Shame on you!
