After a hard day in Iraq, Dale Rogers, 503e American regiment of infantry, needs a good beer to make pass the taste of sand and blood. In order not to cut down his pay by drink expenses, the Rogers sergeant created Beer for Soldiers. "an Internet site which makes it possible to the patriots to pay us glass", explains Dale.
Opened in February whereas its unit was stationed in South Korea, the site gains a certain success. Several contributions are possible, going from 2 to 20 dollars. "I went in a pub where twenties to thirty soldiers were accoudés with the bar and I launched to the barman: ' free Beer for everyone!' ", tell it, nostalgic.
The initiative of Dale Rogers drew the attention of the Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper of the American forces, which devoted an article to him. But this publicity appeared against-productive. Lawyers of the army support that to request funds to seal the thirst for the soldiers posted in Iraq contravenes certain ethical rules. "Of the conneries, answers the Rogers sergeant in his blog (personal newspaper on line). But I am a soldier and I must obey." And to leave the management of its site to his/her brother.
Whereas more than thousand American soldiers died in Iraq, the moral one of the troops is each day a little more one subject of concern for the army. On the site of Dale Rogers, one can see photographs of his military peregrinations of Seoul with Fallouja. Tens of photographs which are as many testimonys on the way in which the GI live this war. For Rogers, it is simple: it is there "to kill these bastard terrorists". Between two beers.
