ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Thanks to USAA, Broncos Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway spent part of his Wednesday morning chatting with overseas military men and women.

On a conference call were 23 soldiers with the second armored brigade and fourth infantry from Fort Carson, stationed in seven different camps throughout the Middle East in three different countries.

"I’d just like to say it’s a pleasure for me to be talking to you guys today," Elway said to open the call. "I appreciate your work and everything you do for this country, the sacrifices that have been made by you guys over there. From the bottom of my heart, I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and it’s an honor for me to be able to spend time with you guys today.

"So I’m looking forward to hearing some questions -- and don’t be shy."

The soldiers weren't.

In fact, one soldier got straight to the point.
