Truth. I've heard some stories about you fellas conditions. Our comforts got much better each time with Desert Storm and then Iraq/Afghanistan. We now have internet and tv among plenty of other things. There's many ways to talk with family on a regular basis and that includes live video too. Hell, even ole Haji selling bootleg DVDs of movies that are still in theaters. Further, a Med-Evac mission showed up one early morning with 13 half gallons of milk direct from Ramstein. After only having that UHT cardboard tasting stuff for a while, the half gallon I had was damn gooooood
