Please pass this along to anyone you know, this needs to get out in the open.
Exposing the real anti-American's is easy in a time of war!
This red print is the original emal from:

Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to Starbucks. They wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee.
Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their support of their coffee business, but that they don't support the War or anyone in it! They also said that they would be sending NO free coffee to anyone.
Such a small joy for those in such horrid living conditions! A flavorful cup of java!!! Starbucks is despicable!
So as not to offend Starbucks any longer,
we (ALL AMERICANS) should not support them in buying any more Starbucks products.
<<< Boycott Starbucks >>>
As a War vet, I am writing to you patriots because I feel we should reveal the traitorous situation at Starbucks.
It is okay for them to over charge for their fancy coffee, but it is not okay for them to support those who protect their freedom of speech and of retail price fixing for that fancy cup of coffee that made them who they are today!
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 for what they, most others and myself, believe is right.
If you feel the same as I do then pass this along.
You can discard it and I'll never know.
***The universe will set things right with Starbucks with or without this email, but with it, we expediate their fate in the USA!***
Thanks very much for your support to me and the rest of our real men in combat. I'll be there again here soon when I deploy once more.

No! Everyone don't HAVE to support the war. (Check your grammar!) But we do not need to condemn the people that are serving in our armed forces simply because they are following the orders of our Commander in Cheif. They are fighting to keep this a free country so that you can spout your anti-American rhetoric in peace. |

By the way, Starbucks does support our troops. See www.boycottwatch.org/misc/starbucks2.htm |

I work for Starbucks, and our store made donations, so I don't know what you are talking about. |

Because I'm a really terrible person:
Everyone DOESN'T have to support the war. (Check your grammar.)
And it's Commander in Chief. |

Κανένας δεν πρέπει να υποστηρίξει τον πόλεμο
Fooling around with Babel Fish. I wonder if those Greek characters will show up? Anyways, I turned "No one has to support the war" into "No one should not support the war," the total opposite.
My point? Greek looks cool. |

First of all, I think that by trying to down grade an american business is just as un-american.
Secondly, its not a crime to be against the war. If the author can understand that there are those who oppose the war then I don't see why having a company oppose the war would be any different.
Lastly Greg, to go against your opinion of " But we do not need to condemn the people that are serving in our armed forces simply because they are following the orders of our Commander in Cheif. They are fighting to keep this a free country so that you can spout your anti-American rhetoric in peace. "
Since it is a free country 'we' as a people or single person or even business do not NEED to do anything. It is their choice to join the army and fight so why should a company (Starbucks') feel obligated to send them free coffee? It's not as though there was a plea bargain in place. |

SHOW OUR TROOPS YOU CARE SEND ANY ONE YOU KNOW OR PASS ONE THROUGH TO SOMONE YOU DON'T KNOW, SO EVERY TROOP WILL KNOW OF OUR PATRONIGE FOR THEM....GO USA TROOPS******************************************** |
