But don't they have to take down your name and verify your military ID just to shop there anyway?


No. Verify your ID for privilege to shop there, but don't take your name...ever (well, until now apparently).

...if you're going to buy directly from the government at a store that specificly caters to military people...


not quite. This is a private agency allowed to set up shop on military bases with exclusive privilege to sell to military members. Percentages of profits are kicked back to base community through morale, welfare and recreation organizations. The govt has nothing to do with it besides owning the land on which the store sits.

But, that's not the REAL point of the conversation, so I digress. Just wanted to ensure our details are straight. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
