Well I brewed my last beer this weekend. I'm getting ready to redeploy to Iraq again in about 2 months. A possible 15 to 18 again this time as well. That's a long time without beer.
I would like to sincerely thank you for your service and you sacrifices. While beer is a sacrifice, I am sure that you are sacrificing larger things also. Be safe!
Yes I confirmed that although we all mean well, it is not allowed to drink beer in a combat zone, and the Iraqis have banned beer, even in US bases (except there was a bit allowed during the Superbowl IIRC).
