I don't think this is what people have in mind exactly:
Here's how it works: non-military members sign up to adopt a soldier on Rush's website, while current military members sign up to be adopted. Once an adopter and an adoptee are matched up, the adopted soldier receives a free subscription to "The Limbaugh Letter" and to the premium content on Rush's website.
Fabulous! And all at the low, low cost of $50, which goes directly into Rush's pocket.
Oh, I'm sorry - you didn't think he was doing this out of charity did you? Nope, despite the fact that Rush's site claims to be offering "complimentary RUSH 24/7 subscriptions," if you want to be able to say you've adopted a soldier through Rush's program then you have to cough up the cash. Because someone's got to pay for those "complimentary subscriptions," and it sure as hell ain't gonna be Limbaugh.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out the many other programs that do similar, but without the pocketed money.
Adopt A Platoon:

AnySoldier:

American Snipers (formerly Adopt A Sniper)

Theres also the "know someone who's in and send them packages" way as well, but those three are ones I keep hearing good things about from the recipients on SOCNET

I should have concluded with, "Typical of Rush" not to impune the repuation of the actual support groups.
I figured that was your meaning, but in case anyone was interested in similar programs, I thought I'd put the links out there.

Heard that on Olbermann. Laughed my ass off. I suppose the suggestion of a fee is a de facto disclaimer, so there is an implied version of "buyer beware". But for Rush, it's all about the almighty buck.
