I am a fan of Limbaugh's but I think the soldiers don't need a 24/7 subscription. I think Limbaugh would've been a real mensch if he had just endorsed a standard Adopt- A - Soldier program that provided them with the normal TLC-- food, shaving kits, etc. He didn't have to get his beak wet... I would've gladly participated in a standard program, the subscription thing is a missed opportunity that risks appearing self interested. I don't care if a bonehead from Rio Linda gave him the idea.

Your thinking is very misguided. If the caller had called Gillette, you could expect them to have a shaving program or Kraft could be expected to have a food program. However, Rush has a radio program that is on the Internet 24/7 by subscription.

I am sure not all service members will have access to the program on the Internet, but I am sure there are more than one thinks that does have Internet access.

I spent two tours in Nam(one in the Infantry, 67-68) and I had all the shaving cream and toothpaste I wanted. Of course, soldiers are always hungry, so extra food is always good. However, the entertainment value, the ability to be one iota closer to what is going on at home, has a tremendous value for morale and general conditions..

Get over it. There are plenty of organizations that send the amenities you mentioned, call one.

What about calling cards, powdered gatorade, cds, dvds, books, and everything the Hell else. Most of Limbaugh's show is on the free side any way . It's a dumb program... period!
