Interesting set of cards.

Raises the question: Do GI's still play cards? One would assume so, but I've never been over there and don't know. Anyone with some feedback?

I'm sure they do, since many don't have laptops to pass time on. Plus, on care package sites they say to send things like cards.

They still play cards. In their recreation rooms they have pay internet. My husband bought a laptop from Circuit City and they sent it to him in Iraq within a week, free shipping. He pays a guy $40 a month or so to have his room wired, but it's "lame".
