During his time as a soldier in Iraq, Captain Stephen Machuga (pictured above) received a care package full of second-hand romance novels donated by a library. In a matter of minutes those very same novels were used by his unit for target practice test-firing captured small-arms. Captain Machuga realised that, while people had their hearts in the right place, they were clueless as to what the soldiers really wanted.
And so Operation Supply Drop was born.
This selfless organisation donates videogame care packages for deployed troops in high threat provinces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Everything from Portal to Peggle is shipped over to the beleaguered soldiers to help keep them entertained during their downtime.
The photos below show just how awesome these care packages are. You can pledge your support for Operation Supply Drop by following them on Twitter.
