This makes no sense. Opponents argue that allowing underage military drinking would risk a dangerous mix of alcohol and gun-toting troops.
But the military severely restricts the access service members have to firearms on base, and past experience with on-base drinking under the age of 21 actually supports the idea of allowing younger troops to imbibe.
Back in the day, active-duty troops under 21 could drink responsibly on base. Even when Congress changed the law in the s to require American military bases to adhere to local drinking age laws which in a number of states had increased to 21 after experiments with lowering the age in the s , bases located within 50 miles of Canada or Mexico continued to permit year-olds to drink.
Although no branch of the military takes advantage of the mile rule today, commanders overseas occasionally allow underage drinking for "special circumstances," such as the recognized birthday of one of the military branches.
And in , the Marine Corps loosened its rules further, allowing year-old Marines to drink in foreign ports, so long as local laws permit it. Forbidding off-base drinking makes even less sense, and it would be easy to implement a system that allowed it. In recent years, a wave of state legislation has cropped up that would give military members the green light to drink at While no such laws have passed, they show that the issue is gaining attention. All U. Both common sense and history show that year-old troops are sufficiently responsible to drink.
You can send alcohol to a recipient through Instacart, but they will need to show proof of drinking age to the delivery person. Of course, no matter what method you choose, you want to make sure that the company can deliver to where your loved one is… and that your recipient actually wants you to send them alcohol.

Can I send alcohol in the mail? Can I ship wine? Can I ship beer? But what about shipping alcohol to a Muslim country? Should I ship alcohol in the mail? I still want to ship alcohol. Do not think in terms of preparing an individual box of assorted goods for individual soldiers.
The military ends up re-sorting those at their end. It is waste effort at both ends. The present manner of distribution overseas has care goods maintained in blocks of the same types of goods, so that soldiers can get exactly how much of what they want, and nothing goes to waste. Two Ways to Help You can buy and ship items to us we inspect, repackage and distribute them to the troops , or, you can donate via our donation page to help us distribute the goods to the troops.

Bored troops still do, but not in great numbers. Popular series and authors are best, romance novels are not that great unless someone asks for them. Chocolate Bunnies and Peeps die in the mail in alarming numbers. We currently have 2 solid 3 pound blocks of gummy bears.
Any of the above would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! No peanuts.
