Soldiers who attended last month’s auditions for the Army Soldier Show expected to hear in early January whether they’d been selected for the touring, Broadway-style performance that has visited bases worldwide since its inception in 1983.
Instead, they were informed via group email that the show had been discontinued.

Well to those of us who were "forced to have fun" watching them, we will rejoice in this (sarcasm they're not that bad), but why? I know the answer is we're cash strapped, and all of the services are, but were they thinking that when they were paying the NFL millions per year to have these "surprise" reunions between troops and their family members? That's also a very cheap way to inform a Soldier that his/her position has been done away with. In this one case, I think doing the right thing was wrong.

Everything is political and embarraasing. Shorts across the bow and crocodile tears.

I got to see this show when deployed to Kosovo. It was great. I'm also guessing it's all about the money and manning.
