AP Reports that there is a shortage of blood in the US Army stockpiles, blood being donated goes directly to Iraq.
The demand for blood - almost all of which goes to a battlefield - has grown 400 percent since the war in Iraq began, he said. The quota the Army gave donation centers before combat operations began in Afghanistan was roughly 25 units a week, or $6,300 if purchased commercially.
Please recommend. If you're eligible, please donate. Although civilians cannot donate, the word needs to be spread about this as much as possible, certain people (meaning Rummy) obviously do not want high publicity on this.
