Apparently the US Department of ~~Defense~~War thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.

Uh…

Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.

I heard she wasn't even shipping them, there were middlemen in the US buying them then shipping them without her knowledge obviously to Bahrain.

The article (which I don't necessarily trust) says that she shipped them through the MPSA which doesn't use physical address, but name and unit for anonymity.

She literally can't tell where those are being shipped, and honestly, them sending this letter is kinda a breach of that anonymity thing.

So same sort if idea anyway she wasn't knowingly shipping there making the whole cease and desist even more silly?

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's total nonsense lol. They are the mail carriers, and the issue is with their own soldiers. She's literally just sending the parcel into a black void

This seems like it would be bad for troop morale
