Before everyone goes apeshit over this, one way or the other, thoughts?

As someone who deployed twice, I don't really get why it exists.

Ditto.

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?

Where does the title comes from?it's not on the website it seems like just a website to send letter to military personnel

The submitter made it up. Despite being a user on the site for years they apparently don't know the submission rules: use the original title, only edit to fit or for obvious clickbait. The simplest rules are the hardest to remember?
