What does your donation buy?
* $150 buys a tool kit to support the SeaBees/Marines ICAP program.

Is this supposed to help the US armed forces people instead of the US armed forces compensating them for fighting for their country?

They aren't fighting for Canada, so what is this? Have you made a donation?

The program trains Iraqis. After their training, the Iraqis are given a tool kit. The cost of the kit $150.00. YOur donation goes toward paying for those tool kits.

I don't understand the second question. Can you rephrase?

I donated $50.00. Most of my charitable donations go to children and soldiers, but hey... It's Christmas.

I don't think people should be allowed to post "facts" which originate from the U.S. military. :lol:

There are lots of people you could help at home Paco.

It would help if the U.S. would lay down some truth just as accurately as their bombs are.

One story that always irritated me was this one:

And remember that female soldier who was supposedly rescued by American troops just after the invasion? It was a fabrication by the U.S. media and army personnel.
