I think the employer should be able to have them be smoke free during business hours. after work though, it's not their business. unless they are unable to perfrom because of the smoking. unable to run, ect.
For God sake, they are just a bullet or an IED way from being dead. Who give the a f**k if they want to smoke or not.
The way I see it, our military perfoms way better than any other army in the world already (smoking or not). What we need to do is take those idiots who came up with this stupid idea and send them to the front line so they can do some worth while thing for a change.

I agree with you. But you have to remember, the military is "on duty 24HRS a day".
Even on leave status, they can be recalled in a moments notice if needed.
Rediculous..what other rights are we so willing to give up?? No more drinking, coz of alcoholism, no more sex because of AIDS and STD's, no more cheesburgers, coz of obesity?? Ok..I'm done..might as well join a monestary and bake bread.
Well, our wonderful government could really make great strides if they forbade soldiers to die. Then we could keep our armed forces intact. It would be about as easy and legal as denying personal freedoms.

Pretty much.
We are entering an ageof paternalism. It's a cycle. Permissive for a few decades and moralistic busybodies for a few decades.

Bread is fattening.
