Well, there you have it. Proud to be a skeptic!
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..:sadgreen: |

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

Good on Starbucks....the nerve of the troops to even ask Starbucks to send them anything. Maybe I will write McDonald's and see if they will send me Big Macs because everyone in my office loves Big Macs.
I am sick of people giving military people free all over the place. They are doing their job....I don't get free because I do my job. |

I don't know, but I find it kind of strange with all these statements differentiating the troops and the 'mission'. I've even seen a new slew of comments indicating "If you don't support the mission, how can you support the troops?".
In any case, last I checked, military service in this country is voluntary, thus if you volunteer to go with guns-a-blazing into foreign territory, what freedoms are you exactly protecting? And if you are aware of the political stance of your patron nation, still volunteer to fight for it, well where is the difference in the politics and the grunts executing those politics? |
