He says it's a pretty violent spot where he is at and I dont want to get him a blow up doll and get him all distracted from his duties. :) No, but serious, what can I send him other than American snacks?

Phone cards! my nephew was in Bagdad and he liked getting those so that when he got a chance he could call home. I know hand sanitiser is also a good thing, tooth cleaner, I can't remember the name of it but you can use it and throw it away.

Harley had great suggestions... I really can add little to those who've put up answers.
ONE thing I used to love to get (back in the 80's & 90's before satellite phones and TV) were video-tapes (today it'd be DVD's) of the current TV shows!! Even mailing them we'd only be 2-3 weeks behind those good folks back in the States.
Perhaps a simple DVD player/viewer and some good movies.

otherwise if u dont like that idea then try for the little stupid stuff he can sit and play with while hes not engaged like anything from pictures to maybe cards or some simple card games main thing is something small not heavy and easily grabbed on the way out

Books, (just about anything except porn - military ban) videos,(again, just about anything except porn), music, whatever he likes, video games (a lot of the guys have them, I know that some even leave the machines behind when they ship home). Personal hygene items, ie disposable razors, baby wipes (non-scented preferably), toothbrushes, tooth paste, deorderant, shaving cream, wash cloths, towels. Snack foods (you already know about those). I used to send clean pillow cases and new pillows.
