#1 You'd think in a world with XM and Sirius radio that this is one serious place Rummey could outsource the whole department and let the troops tune to what ever rocks their boat. What's the break even mark for a relay satellite versus funding this bureaucratic pit?

#2 Just what I was thinking HU. Buy/lease several Sirius channels and unencrypt them so any Sirius receiver, whether on subscription or not, can play them. Same for TV. Have a few unencrypted channels of DISH or whatever DBS satellite is active in that hemisphere. It will be a heck of a lot cheaper than having AFRTS staff in each of the theaters and variety can be expanded.

#3 "They said when we play country, we pull in the country fans but lose ~~folks who'd rather hear music that denigrates women into whores and bitches whose only function is a sex toy for murderous gold-tooth sporting drug dealers in fancy cars~~ everyone else, said Warren Lee, operations and plans officer for AFRTS."

#6 I can hear it now:

Check it out!
I hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, and you dont stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--I'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see I'm A-F-R and I say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I'm goin down in history
as the baddest military there could ever be
planes go up real high and drop the JDAMs below
the concussion starts gettin into your toes
ya start poppin jihadis with an M-82
and movin your body right down to your shoes
and the Ba'athists start doin the freak
I said damn, right outta their seat
then they throw they hands high in the air
surrenedrin' before we kick their derriere
we're rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot ordinance for the affair
singin on n n on n on n on
the war dont stop until the break of dawn . . .
