John -
I know this may stun you, but I still use Snail Mail especially when I have to send out payments on e-bay or an important document and for everyday correspondance too. Last year when some of my good friends were at Field Training at Lackland and Ellsworth AFBs that was the only method of communication with them.
I cited AAFES's phone card program because it is our most popular and well know both in civilian and military circles.
In so far as death, I understand it is a part of life. Like I said, when I go in, I accept wholeheartedly that I might die. It is a risk I am willing to take to further our civil liberties as a nation.
I cited the example of the Marine Cpl and Army PFC because most people of my generation don't get sacrifice or budgeting and how much it hit home for me because they were my age and I really didn't know them from adam.
This Iraq/Afganistan Conflict is my generation's war. I'm not asking to be brought over there in a C-21 nor am I asking for a Sealy posturpedics bed to sleep on, I just want those who are watching out for me to have the best our government can logically provide.
I can't remember all of SAC Commander In Chief Gen. Curtis LeMay's Famous quote, "Peace may be our Profession", war is ultimately inevitable.

And lastly, the one thing that irritated me over all about what I am responding to, because I am 21, I am unable to come up with concrete opinions of what is and should be going on over there. I've based my opinions from primary sources, the airmen that have been over there. Sure its not the army, and marines, but its better than nothing.
