Damn Starbucks

Please pass this on to everyone you know

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to Let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they Send some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee. So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. .. ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!


Also, don't forget that when the Twin Trade Towers were hit the fire
fighters and rescue workers went to Starbucks because it was close by
for water for the survivors and workers and Starbucks charged them! ! !


JUST A NOTE TO THIS: STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS.

I have difficulty believing that Starbucks would give the metaphorical finger to such an enormous client. Unless it came from some half-witted customer service rep and not senior management.

To be clear, I hate Starbucks because their coffee tastes like baboon ass, but nevertheless: Evidence Please.

pfftt dont care bout the army. they are dumb to go overseas because of our dumb politicians are so ready to suck Bush's cock and follow his lead.

i'd say bring em all back home and they can have all the coffee they want. In the mean time, give em meth so they go crazy on those iraqi punks!

There are Timmy's over there no???

on the other hand - they don't charge for plastic cups with water, why would they change during 9/11? THAT I have difficulty believing

It's precisely that kind of sophomoric anti-military obloquy that lost Kerry the election in '04. Some opinions people really ought to learn to keep to themselves. This isn't about whether or not you approved of the war - these people are not politicians, they have no agenda, they are the ones who fight and die so you can be free to stuff your faces with potato chips and criticize from the comfort of your living rooms.

Congratulations, you've eradicated any trace of credibility that might have been extended to you in future conversations, and you've done it over a glaring hoax.

+ 1..the millitary has nothing to do with the mess....they deserve nothing but respect and honour..can't even imagine what it must be like for them..

I find it difficult to support any military or soldier which supports terror.

I got the email from a friend in the military and took it on face value
sad day when you can't trust a friend

I hope the us army succeeds in their battle against their leaders own paranoia.

Capitalism ie. $$$$ >> Morals, Values & Beliefs...
Come on now people..get with it!


Anyway, here's my traumatic experience...

I signed up for the Starbucks reward like in June, and it states that you get a free beverage.

Anyway, I ended up getting my voucher for my free coffee on Wednesday September 3rd...

The damn Coupon expired August 31st!!

I wrote them a nice email and hopefully i'll still get my free drinK!! I can't afford to drink any of their normal drinks haha
