Below is a link that will take you to a web site that lets you send games to the soldiers overseas (US/ NATO troops) so they have something to do in their very limited spare time.
I intend on taking advantage of this site in order to send the guys/ gals something to play, and I hope you will too.

Interesting idea. I can see its benefits; however, I have a slight issue with the site, especially the pic used on the homepage. Soldiers playing a war game? Uh... wouldn't it be beter to send them something that get's their minds off of the hell they are in? 

On that note, there are certain adult theme games I think would be more appropriate for them.

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.  ~Plato
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.  ~Ernest Benn
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn.  The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.  ~P.J. O'Rourke

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it! ~ Upton Sinclair
