Hey everybody,
This is directed mostly at the republicans here. We are working on the gr***roots effort to get mitt elected. Anyone who is interested in helping or supporting the best candidate in a long time let me know. My cell is XXX-XXX-XXXX. My email is xxx.xxx@us.army.mil
If anyone including democrats is interested in doing a city wide debate with proxy candidates representing their candidate let me know. Also if there are any ideas to help the campaign let me know. I am just glad that there is such a solid candidate on the GOP side. But I guess anything is better than the democratic republican mccain.

What does everybody think?

Probably not the best idea in the world... But I guess soldiers need an email address too. I think it is probably simply a case of individuals out there who are unaware of the fact that free email accounts are available, or simply have no idea of how to obtain one. Would this be a freedom of speech issue or a conflict of interest issue? Surely all branches of the military have those who lean both towards republican persuasion and those who lean towards democratic persuasion, as well as independent etc. Not sure where I stand on this, but it doesn't seem to make good sense to use an email address such as that to send messages such as that.
