My friend's brother is going into the US armed forces, probably to the

Get a Worldspace radio. Not some POS shortwave. Soldiers want
Hip-hop and Heavy Metal, not banjo music from Russia.

Yeah... all that shortwave is a 'POS'... did you ever think that you just
might
be in the wrong place, 'tard boy?

We're talking about kids amped-up on dexedrine that could be blown
to bits any minute. Not some old dude relaxing on the breezeway.


They're more likely to use SW than Worldspace.. for one, Worldspace is a
subscription service, and there really isn't much they would want to listen
to on the feeds they would be getting for their $12 a month or whatever..
besides, AFN already has stations in those areas, and if they're anything at
all like the AFN FM service here in Korea, HipHop and Heavy Metal is about
all they DO play..
