That's wonderful he could see the birth even though he couldn't be there.
I watched a live birth in a movie I bought yesterday called "Romance". I don't know how the doctors do it and I never want to see that again. If they do, more power to them.
Why not just send the soldier home??? Emotional? yes, Gross? yes. Been there, done that, got sticthes.
Maybe the President could order AT&T to charge less. I hear they'll gladly comply with his orders.
funny prisoners and soldiers both have to pay a lot to keep there families "together". thanks GOP profiteers
Excellent segment, but it mostly makes me sad that a country can be so technologically advanced and still send humans off to the other side of the world to kill humans.
Interesting article. I am amazed that serving military have to pay for calls home etc. When I travel, my employer covers a reasonable amount of communication with home, and it would seem fair that the military would provide the same.
@Ed: The best type of humor makes one laugh and has a dark side, and your posting was very humorous!
