    I am 43 years old, an ex-military brat. My father served 3 tours in Vietnam and I can tell you right now if my father had this technology to stay in touch with his family we might of had a chance of staying a family. I know being a child of a war veteran all I could do was pray like hell that he would return. Our men today are deployed for much longer periods and to not extend this privilege is pure HELL for everyone. How does this financial burden help the MORALE of your military men.

    I could only wish that my brother had internet access when he served in the Air Force for twenty years. We only got to talk to him about once a month while he was stationed overseas. Please see that our soldiers, who protect our freedom, don't have to pay more of a price then they are already doing.

    The lack of respect our government shows our military - the ones who keep us safe - is unacceptable!

    any soldier overseas in a theater,risking there lives for this country, should have better access to there loved ones here in the us, as a vet of desert storm,i know how stressful it is and not being able to reach our familys it distract u from your overall mission which could get you or your military family hurt or worse.

    As a mother of deployed soldier in Iraq, I was appalled to find out that the soldiers on my son's platoon were getting charged $75 / mo to use the Internet in there quarts, and it wasn't even that fast of a connection. Shame on you congress and Mr President.

    I think $100 a month is absolutely asinine. Ridiculous. For that amount of money we should be able to practically touch each other, but I couldn't even video skype with my husband. He couldn't download anything without leaving his computer running all night, and all of our skype calls were VERY choppy. Sick.

    This should be done for the benefit of our soldiers who put everything on the line.Show some compassion and allow them easy access to their friends and family. Its a very small convenience we should provide for our military men and women
