tom;
if you choose not to believe snopes, several other well known and respected sites report the very same thing

i do have to wonder if your source got his information the same way the op did-by word of mouth. and that he too failed to check on it first. as you did as well.
on a better note, the founder of outback (a member of sigma alpha epsilon) several years ago sent two c-17s over to afghanistan. filled with volunteers from all outback locations and enough food to open up an outback in the middle of no where. and did it with out any publicity.
