Shipping to an APO

Quite frankly I think that all, and I do mean ALL, businesses, corporations, conglomerates, LLCs, NPOs, government organizations, and any other possible human currently located in the United States of America should be required, oh yeah I'm throwing off the gloves here, required to ship to an APO as long as the item being mailed meets the APO shipping requirements.

I'm on a soap box here people watch out.

Businesses operating in the mostly free-market society in the United States exist in part because of the freedoms gained by United States soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines. And if a US soldier is stationed anywhere outside of the US and wants a damn HDMI cable to connect his Apple TV to his 42" big screen, a company should have to send it to an APO address. And if an Army brat wants to buy a Star Wars Poster for his room, I think someone should be able to drop it off at a post office and send it. And if a woman wants some coffee for her single serve coffee maker, she should be able to pay whatever someone wants to charge to mail it to her.

Perhaps, instead of listing that little section on their website that says "Unfortunately at this time we cannot ship to an APO/FPO Addresses" maybe it should say something like this "For all those requiring shipment to an APO/FPO address...thank you for your service" any maybe, now this is a stretch just maybe it can also say something like this "Free shipping for all orders with delivery to Iraq or Afghanistan...God speed and come home soon".

From this day forward I will write a letter to every single company that will not ship to an APO explaining the procedures for shipping to an APO/FPO and scolding them for not supporting the United States Military.
