Obama Signs Landmark Anti-Smoking Bill ohhh and some military changes

So as I began to read this I thought, ya, if you’re going to ride and participate, you should pay regardless if you’re a Marine, Sailor or injured construction worker. BUT, the kid isn’t getting out of his chair. His  stressed out wife and kids or family were probably trying to let some steam off of their jacked up new life.
