Hopefully....... as opposed to ending up being used for IED's

Whenever I place an order from Cheaper Than Dirt, I keep getting the plastic pre-paid envelopes for the 'phones for soldiers' program. I'd imagine it's possible to request one of those envelopes from somewhere if you look around online. I think they recycle all the phones they get and the proceeds go towards calling cards for deployed troops to use....or something like that.

Well, I do work for the government. While not everything that goes on in this building is on the up and up I'd like to think this is.
