    Having the ability to contact my husband on a regular basis has been a major morale booster, and an important part of maintaining our sanity and spousal and familial bonds. The threat of removing free internet (which is currently scheduled to happen at the beginning of the month) is a major morale crusher for soldiers and their families - all of whom are making intense sacrifices. The burden of the "bottom line" should not be pushed onto soldiers and their families.

    My husband has to wait until next month to buy internet. He wants to make sure we have enough money for rent. If he wants to communicate with me He needs to walk to the coffee shop to get internet... And he can't go alone. He has to ask someone to accompany him at all times. I feel all military soldiers should have free internet access.

    Our men and women fight for our freedom and lives and we can't even give them way to communicate with family for free or low cost? That is crap. Congress and President should even volunteer part of salary to do that. I would if in congress .

    I think free internet to communicate with there family's is the least that US could do for our troops I am a military husband here with 4 kids at home my wife is overseas right now and we can not afford the way over priced internet and im sure we aren't the only family that's in that position I think communicating with there family's on a regular helps them to remember what they are there for and also makes an all together better solder

    This shouldn't even be a question in my opinion. $100/month for poor service and lil to time to talk, as each service member works long and odd hours, whose schedule may or may not mesh well with their family members back home, patiently awaiting their soldiers communications; i.e.,email, IM or Skype. It's a damn shame if this isn't remedied ASAP!! *appalled* Soldiers fighting for freedoms that they do not have themselves and our government cannot even provide morale support! Shameful and almost inhumane!

    With all the other struuggles and sacrifices my husband and my family go throw for this country, Internet should not be an issue. We don't mind paying a fee but $100 per month is outrageous!!
