This link makes it look like it's some event-specific website. It's not. It's an easy way to navigate the confusing mail routing system to military service members, especially those in bootcamp where they can't have phones. But you want to send them a letter which they CAN get, but you don't know their address or you don't want to actually buy stamps and go to the post office and whatever else. It's a convenience service.
Not sure why other commenter suspects people will go apeshit over this, it's just a good business idea?
I’d like to preface my message. I may not write as eloquently as the rest of you. From what I’ve seen, I don’t come close to many of those who are active here.
I am the son of a father who was in the Army around 2000-2004. From my time spent being near those who served in the Armed Forces, I have been given a unique opportunity. I have spoken to those who many of you may demonize.
They are not an evil conglomerate. The individuals that enlist are not warmongers with an over inflated ego or self worth (for the most part). People enlist for many reasons. Most of which is to gain skills for a better life. The over rampant voice of the ignorant claims these people are, by nature, called for the sole purpose of a Machiavellian dream.
Their lives are not easy. They are constantly sleep deprived and over worked. They are just like you and me and have a limit to their patience. A letter from a stranger may be the single thing holding them together as they brave a harsh world.

How can you hate what you truly don’t know.
