Normally, caffeine is delivered to the body through a pill or beverage and travels through the intestines, where it later is absorbed through the stomach lining. The whole process can take 45 to 90 minutes, Kamimori said. Research showed that with Stay Alert -- which has a 100 milligram dose of caffeine, similar to 6 ounces of brewed coffee -- the stimulant is absorbed through the tissues of the mouth. In five minutes of chewing, 85 percent of the caffeine has already hit. After 10 minutes, it goes up to 99 percent, Kamimori said. "It's absorbed four to five times faster," Kamimori said. "All of the caffeine is now in your body. Caffeine is caffeine, but this works fast." It was enough to get the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command to launch a program to develop and test Stay Alert for use in sustained or continuous military operations where soldiers are unable to get enough sleep.

If that's so, then why are you telling us on a forum? Why not go tell the soldiers that? How about the sailors? Navy ships come to port quite often, find a Carrier, that's 5000 people to commence said chewing.

Donate to an Army that is currently killing innocent people in far off lands with drones against their pistols, sticks and stones as their only defense?
Donate to an army that kills without remorse, Millions of innocent men, women and children? Families that will suffer the aftermath of the great hope of the US with birth defects, crop poisoning, destroyed economies and destruction of what was once actually peaceful to them but not to the Western Warmongers?

While I may not agree with how things go for the places we occupy, I certainly can not run a military, nor decide the best/most humane weapons and actions to use.

No, don't donate to the army, but to our children (soldiers) sent to a foreign land.

Why don't you tell us the good they've done eh? Creating little americas around the globe does little for the host countries natives imo.
The bad side of war usually outweighs the good manyfold. It's business, and business is parasitic and operates regardless of ethics applied to the rest of the civilized world most of the time. Politics comes into it, but politics is also business.
Back on topic...knowing that Aspatrame is a poison and can cause serious health issues, what better way to wittle down those who are the pawns later in life with non war related health problems, funding the big corporate pharma who will end up medicating those who suffer.
If people REALLY want to help, get all troops back on native soil and let the world live without gum chewing gung-ho false heroes destroying this ball of dirt.
A little natural sugar in regular gum is not bad for those who are supposedly very fit and can handle it.
AFGHANISTAN (Army News Service, July 7, 2012) -- The 3rd Zone Afghan Border Police, together with units from Combined Task Force Buffalo, successfully cleared and secured 120 kilometers of rugged terrain and unimproved roadways in Shorabak, Afghanistan, enabling the safe passage for more than 60 trucks filled with humanitarian aid during Operation Buffalo Thunder II, which occurred from June 26 to July 3, 2012. The mission started with the clearance of the extremely rough roadway from Forward Operating Base Spin Boldak to the district center at Shorabak. Soldiers of the 569th Engineer Company and 787th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, found and control-detonated four improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, during the operation. "We're moving through a desert with significantly unimproved roads and in most cases, no road at all," said Maj. Gregory Sakimura, operations officer with the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. "There were less IEDs than we anticipated but there were still several IEDs found." The 3rd Zone Afghan Border Police, or ABP, retained control along the route by manning dozens of permanent checkpoints. These checkpoints not only made the roadway safe for Combined Task Force , or CTF, Buffalo and the 'jingle' trucks loaded with humanitarian aid, but also served to deter Taliban activity in the area. The fleet of trucks, packed with approximately 600 tons of grain, arrived and was unloaded at the district center in Shorabak, between June 30 and July 1.

The relief effort, called Operation Bear Claw, comes during the heaviest rain and snowfall the area has seen in seven years. Many villagers are unable to leave their homes and roads and passes are blocked in some places by 20 ft. of snow making movement of goods impossible. Members of 131st Aviation, deployed to Kandahar Air Field for Operation Enduring Freedom, are an integral part of the relief effort. Working in combination with Coalition forces are several Non-governmental Organizations (NGO) and the Afghan government.
