Seriously, if large quantities of politically oriented books are not allowed in combat zones, what in the wolrd is O'Reilly doing sending crates of his books over there?

Seems the books were sent by a supporter of U.S. troops... not necessarily by O'Reilly.
This whole argument is silly. This is an outpost in a remote region in Afghanistan. It's not a political statement, it's a logistics issue. They simply can't support having extra material, such as these books, on site. Because one guy took pictures and tried to infer some political statement does not make it so. After looking at the article, even the guy who posted the pictures said it wasn't a political statement. The reality is that any package such as this, regardless of the author, would have met the same end.
maybe so but, obviously, someone by the name of Everque** was making a point and was told by a superior to backtrack on his statements...No, I can see not dragging books around in remote locations, especially hard backs...I just find it hard to put much faith in someone by the name of Everque**.
This is a stupid thread anyway...it is just each side trying to one up the other in being clever. I hate threads like that as they really bring nothing to the table except snark. Press on......
A book that divides Amerca, designating some as pinheads and others as patriots, sent to the guys who are risking their lives for all Americans. Yeah, that's real classy
Not even close. The book burnings of the 30's were an attempt to keep certain books out of circulation, thus preventing people from reading them (censorship). The soldiers who burned O'Liley's books were just getting rid of the trash.
Wonder what they would do with O'Reilly's newest book about Lincoln? Isn't book burning something we want to discourage? I thought America was for open exchange of ideas. HMMMMM

Liberal are only wanting to exchange their ideas not to exchange all ideas
My God you liberals are a sad bunch. I think more military members are more likely to be conservative than liberal. You finally get a few that act as petty as you all are and you have a collective orgasm. Kinda funny really but really sad and pathetic
They hated Clinton & loved Bush. Obama is probably somewhere in between.
