Hill and Knowlton?

I think that the idea was fantastic.

One thing that bothers me is that a certain Trooper who I know well, had no idea what I was talking about when I told him to save one of those decks for when he returns home.

Apparantly, not all of the Troops have gotten word on the cards.

You can buy the cards online. There are several sites, and here's one of them. I did a yahoo search for them.

You can buy them on ebay...but I can't guarantee that they will be cheap : )

No one knows?? No press corps member tossed the question out to Mr. Rumsfeld or anything?

The idea was based on WW II Playing cards that were printed that had pictures to identify friendly versus enemy aircraft.
