Provide free internet to troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan

Created by J.D. on September 28, 2011

The US government should be providing each soldier with internet access. Instead, deployed soldiers are currently paying over $100 a month to a foreign company for internet access. The soldiers are often not able to share the cost, or shop around to other companies for a better price. These individuals make great sacrifices to serve our country, and the families at home do the same. On larger bases, soldiers wait in line for hours to use military computers for a 30 minute call home. On the smaller out-posts these computers are not available at all, leaving soldiers to pay high costs for private access. Foreign companies are profiting by taking advantage of our soldiers. Please help stop this from happening by providing free internet access.
