Apparently the US Department of ~~Defense~~War thinks that they can order non-US citizens not resident in the USA to cease and desist from mailing things.

Uh…

Hilarity of the items involved aside, the gall of the US military postal service to give orders to civilians not under their command and not even of their nation is shocking.

Yeah, you see stories of Americans in foreign countries being detained or arrested and they are like "I know my rights" LOL. Clearly you don't.

You also see Canadians citing their First Amendment right to free speech, which is always amusing.

It's like one of my idiot friends who keeps going on about "the feds". The feds in question apparently operate in North Yorkshire. Personally I'm sceptical.

I know this isn't what they're doing at all, but I like to think they're actually referring to the first amendment of our constitution. I find it comical to think they're that passionate about either the establishment of Manitoba (technically the first amendment) or strengthening Indigenous peoples' rights (first amendment after 1982 when we achieved full sovereignty).
