3. Bush wants to give tax cuts to Paris Hilton...
...but he won't let our men and women who have gone through hell and have their arms and legs and eyes ripped away call their families for free over the holidays.

Bush family values.

5. Does it matter what kind of phone cards?
Hearing this kind of stuff makes me hate that rotten bunch of nazis even more. That is so sad. Bu$h is a cold hearted,unfeeling SOB. He could care less about our troops. And in return they vote for him. Incredible.

9. these look like cards for international calls tho -- not
from Walter Reed.

I'd love to know a good website - REPUTABLE -- and dealing specifically with the walter reed injured soldiers issue.

11. Good for deployed troops
The AAFES phone cards are a really good deal for soldiers deployed in and around Iraq, compared to others purchased in various stores. I honestly don't know if their US rates are any better or not.

8. I am confused about this point.....
Why can't someone who has a cell phone allow the troops to use it after 9pm or weekends?

10. Of course they could do that, but they'd have to be near there.
Most of us aren't! For anyone in the DC area, that's a great idea, but sending phone cards gives the opportunity for those of us who are too far away, or don't have a cell phone (I don't and WON'T) to do something nice and very appreciated!
