Before you all go and post the latest email drivel making the rounds, I thought I'd try a pre-emptive strike. But I guaranfvckingtee you, someone will post it any way.
Email making the rounds:
Dear everyone:
Please pass this along to anyone you know, this needs to get out in the open.
Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for supporting their business, but that they don't support the War and anyone in it and that they won't send them the Coffee. So as not to offend them, we should not support Starbucks in buying any of their products. As a War vet and writing to you 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 I'll never know.
Thanks very much for your support to me, and I know you'll all be there again here soon when I deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis,
