Ummmm I think some of those "boneheads from Rio Linda" that you are referring to....are freepers.
I sent Rush an email describing a problem the GIs may run into. I work everyday on an Air Force Base. I am a member of Rush 24/7 and the software on the base computer network will not allow most streaming audio. One of my squadron mates discovered a way I can listen to Rush via a CA station, but I can't get streaming audio from most radio stations. I am not sure the adopt-a-soldier idea will work because of streaming audio problem.
I think it is a great idea...the soldiers, I bet, think Rush is awesome and they'll be GRATEFUL to get a subscription.
