The Army through the MWR (Moral, Welfare and Recreation) department run by KBR really does try to give soldiers and civilians something to do when you're not working. I suppose the logic is that if you're busy you will keep out of trouble as anyone with too much time and general malaise will generally do. Now in the 'third world' and on certain streets in New York City and LA you will find all sorts of pirated movies (referred to as haji movies, generally.) If a new movie comes out in the states, we'll either have a DVD copy or 'theater' copy by the next weekend. I send alot of the movies back stateside so if there is something you want, just ask and I'll try to get it and send it to you. For $20 I've also picked up the entire series (to date) for Battle Star Galactica (a GREAT series) and got the FULL season of The Sopranos yesterday as well. Also the Army has a web site that ah, has some interesting 'chat rooms' The 'RAINBOW HAPPINESS' chat room is generally #2 or #3 as the most popular. The Army sure has come a long way and is indeed 'progressive', in a general way.
