So you got mud in your boots going down IED alley do you really need a 24-7 subscription of Limbaugh talking about Harry Reid.. no you need calling cards, cookies, salty peanuts, a deck of cards and powder for your feet. This is a boneheaded, self interested campaign IMO.

So don't give...are you gonna gripe about the soldiers who sign up for the subscription, too? :)

Yes, you've just perfectly described all 150K troops in theater. [yawn]

Plus, the feedback I'm getting is that most of the well-intentioned calling cards are worthless.

no you need calling cards,PX got'em, and with MWR compters there's email and chat and voice links

cookies,PX got'em in many styles and flavors

salty peanuts,PX Got'em in many styles and containers

a deck of cards,Not only does the PX have'em, but the military issues them as well

and powder for your feet.

Lord knows that the PX and aid stations have that!

What the PX doesn't have is Rush 24/7.

And yeah, I've been down more than one road called RPG Alley and I didn't really have access to anything more than what the troops had, often less.
