Fucking Starbucks

[SkinnyBird]

somebody forwarded this to me:
Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks any more!

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!

As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, 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 for what they and I believe is right.

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!!!

Shit is too expensive and tastes bad anyway...

There coffee tastes like fucking dirt. The troops should be getting Tim Horton's cofee. Nothing beats T-Ho's.
