for other poor non-americans like me, who heard the term aafes first time in their shitty non-freedomy life:
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES, also referred to as The Exchange and post exchange/PX or base exchange/BX) provides goods and services at U.S. Army, Air Force, and Space Force installations worldwide, operating department stores, convenience stores, restaurants, military clothing stores, theaters and more nationwide and in more than 30 countries and four U.S. territories.
They don’t really have any presence outside of military bases and embassies, so if you don’t exist in those circles, you wouldn’t have been exposed to them.
for other poor non-americans like me, who heard the term aafes first time in their shitty non-freedomy life:
due to public Health concerns the US government will stop operating Army, Air Force and Space Force installations worldwide
That would be nice
if only…
I am an American and this is the first time I’ve heard of AAFES

So Middle Eastern people know about this?
If they have bases access, sure.
Same ngl, I just assumed it was some health agency
Not many people who never served would know, tbh.
Fuck bruh just go to the NEX. Always a vape shop within 100 feet.
