I think there may be something in the Geneva COnvention outlawing that.

NATO chief shutters Afghan base�s fast-food joints April 30, 2010 TARA BRAUTIGAM/THE CANADIAN PRESS KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN�Soldiers who crave a Whopper with cheese at Kandahar Airfield won�t be able to have it their way any longer. As of Saturday, the Burger King, Pizza Hut and Subway outlets at the heart of the sprawling military base in Afghanistan will be shut down on the orders of the top NATO commander in Afghanistan. And while the much-loved Tim Hortons outlet has been spared, it will have to move to the Canadian part of the base. Cpl. Stanly Pilon, a 32-year-old vehicle maintenance worker with Canada�s National Support Element, said he will miss the morale boost the fast-food fare gives to battle-weary soldiers. �I�m kind of sad,� Pilon said between bites of a Subway sandwich. �It�s kind of a place that we come just to get away from work and the chaos sometimes that happens around here.� U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal launched a review last year of the amenities available at the Kandahar and Bagram airfields, and concluded that the fast-food joints posed a distraction from the task at hand, an ISAF spokesman said. �Gen. McChrystal looked around and said, �There are some of these things that at this point in the mission are not keeping us as focused on the mission as we need to be,�� said Lt.-Col. Michael Lawhorn. �We�re very much in a war.� With the surge of 30,000 more American troops, additional space was at a premium, Lawhorn added. He said some troops may grumble over losing such creature comforts as a Pepperoni Lover�s pizza, but the majority of them would understand that it�s for the greater good �Will some service members have their morale impacted? Sure. But by and large, they understand that difference between must-have and nice-to-have,� he said. �That�s not to say that these things won�t return for the future.� McChrystal�s order also affects a few shops selling various concessions and jewelry. The restaurants, which have been around for about five years, have a pared-down menu of what�s on offer at home. For some, their greasy treats provided a welcome respite after months of cafeteria servings on the base or military rations out in the battlefield. �It doesn�t really promote healthy living, but on the other side of the coin, I�m outside a lot,� said Capt. Drew Arions of the Ontario-based 1st Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment. �If you have a vehicle coming in for maintenance, everybody throws in some money and the guy that�s coming in, he goes and makes a run to Burger King and brings it out to the (forward operating base).� Pte. Matthew Mason, also with 1st Battalion, said he believes it�s time for the restaurants to go. �If you�ve been outside and you�ve just been eating rations, it�s good to clear out the system with that Burger King or Pizza Hut, but it is distracting,� Mason said. Moments later, his thoughts turn to another iconic institution from the West � the distinctively Canadian Tim Hortons outlet, a favourite with soldiers of all nationalities. �I hope they don�t take Tim Hortons away.� The iconic coffee chain managed to avoid McChrystal�s wrath and will move to the base�s Canadian compound within a couple of months.

US actually made this policy last year. McCrystal must hate morale boosters.

Lady Gaga is one of the reasons why I'm jealous of the post-90 generation. Kids back when I was young listened to Guns'n'Roses, U2 and garbage like that. People actually think they're good, and that's always stunned me.

It's about time pop music had a post-modern troll making fun of the world we live in. If she ever says it smells like teen spirit, you know she's just talking about a bloody deodorant!

this is by far the most constructive thing the us army has accomplished since they overthrew hitler

are you serious? she's god-aweful.. i hate bono, nearly more than any other celebrity, but at least some of u2's lyrics had meaning.

lady gaga sucks. she's not fooling people, you're giving her way, way, WAY more credit than she deserves. She's a retard, creating success off the idiocy of the general population.

That's exactly the best thing about Lady Gaga: she's not fooling people! She knows her (insignificant) place in the bigger scheme of things, and parodies herself - and everything around her. She's like a twisted semiotician playing with signs we grew up accustomed with, rather than a "failed world changer" (such as U2) or a "self-absorbed diva" (such as most other pop acts).

You can't take her seriously, and that's why she's better than most other things I've seen in the TOP 40. Makes me miss the Prodigy when they reached the top of the charts in the late 90's: they lyrics were about nothing whatsoever and Liam Howlett would often sample the oddest of all things and turn it into something unrecognisable.
