"As a service of the Department of Defense, AFN does not advertise on Mr
Limbaugh's program, offer products for sale, or sponsor any of the programs
we relay to our audience.

"The American Forces Network does not censor content and we do not seek to
protect our overseas Department of Defense audience from hearing views with
which they may disagree. Our mission is to offer program choices, which
includes both the one-hour versions and three-hour version of various
popular political talk shows.

"To review our radio services/schedules, please visit www.myafn.net.

"Thanks for your support of the troops and for your interest in AFN."

But what I said was:
Subject: Please stop airing Rush Limbaugh

I have always objected to Rush Limbaugh's highly partisan, hate- filled show
being broadcast to the troops--and having my tax dollars pay for it. His
vilifying Sandra Fluke leads me to once again request a better use of my
money, particularly on behalf of the women in the military who do not feel
safe from the men around them. Are Rush's values the values our military
fights for?
