From an MSNBC article:
"In what could be called the worst 'pocket call' ever, an Oregon man who's in Afghanistan fighting with the Army accidentally called his parents a few weeks ago during the heat of battle. The call, during an active firefight, is harrowing to hear (the soldier’s brother has posted the audio file on YouTube). The solider(sic), Stephen Phillips, had tried to call his parents earlier in the day, so all it took was a bump against the phone's redial button."
Cellphones are now ubiquitous enough to carry into combat? That seems as smart as a pocket full of loose change while on patrol.

"what are the other "great reasons" not to carry cellphones?"
—Carrying one in public seems to drop your IQ about 40 points.
—You won't be 'twittered' constantly by pointless calls from friends/family.
—Like the song says: "No strings, no connections! No ties to my affections! I'm fancy-free, and free for anything fancy!"
—No roaming charges.
—You always have an excuse for 'not getting back' to people you don'twant to deal with.
—You can be out in a crowd of people & still enjoy a sense of solitude.
