What do you think of companies that dont support our troops or the war?

Question

I don't know how many there is out there but i got an email saying that Starbucks wouldnt send any of there goods to US soldiers and that they didnt support our troops or the war. What do you think of these places like this? I mean you can support our troops and not the war but not supporting your own people who are fighting for you is just not right.

Answer 1

I do not patronize any company that does not support our troops and this war against islamofascism because such companies are enemies of the freedom that allows them to exist.
Whether the Starbucks story is true or not, I will not go to Starbucks because of their liberal stances and anti- God statements they had on some of their cups. Funny how liberals say they are looking out for poor people, yet Starbucks and Ben and Jerry's have such high prices that poor people can't afford their coffee and ice cream. The only time liberals support capitalism is when liberals are making huge profits. Starbucks has a higher profit margin than any oil company, yet liberals accuse oil companies of price gouging, and come up with laughable defenses for Starbucks. May they choke on their traitor coffee...

Answer 2

If a company doesn't support our troops, then I will not support that company. These brave men and women are putting their lives on the line for the freedoms that we are so fortunate to be a part of. Whether or not you support the war (and I do), you should be supporting the ones who are fighting for your Country. I will never spend a cent in Starbucks again.

Answer 3

Me too, I like Starbucks and even though I can't afford to go there often I like to once in a great while. I wouldn't want to go there if I knew they didn't support our troops. I hope it isn't true. I know I haven't bought any Ben & Jerry's ice cream since they decided to be so vocal against Bush during the elections. and I will do the same with Starbucks if I find out it is true.

Answer 4

It elect to point out you're an ungrateful imbecile, yet I see the place your coming from. there is not any reason there could be any US troop deliver out of the country. Your difficulty lies no longer with the squaddies, however the traitors who're in fee.

Answer 5

it sucks that some people dont support our troops...

...but think about it. would STARBUCKS really be needed by the troops. im sure they donate money to a troop fund, by sending tons of starbucks coffee out doesnt seem helpful.

Answer 6

Note that one of the responders here is saying she won't ever again purchase something from a company based on what she heard from someone on this board, which they got from an email. Maybe doing some verification would be in your interest.

EDIT: It's a hoax. See the link. Took me about twenty seconds to find.

Answer 7

As long as there are American troops out there putting their lives in danger, I will support the troops.

Answer 8

The Starbucks story is an Urban Myth and has been proved many times on here.

If an American Company wants to decide to be un-patriotic its their choice after all America is a Democracy.

People then have a democratic choice to buy or not buy their items.End of story.

Many US citizens supposedly don't support the war, what do you recommend send them to a concentration camp? not a very democratic way is it.

Answer 9

First, the e-mail is probably from Seattle's Best Coffee or some competitor's employee.

Second, this is America. You should be able to do what you want as long as you don't hurt someone else while doing it. Our military is fighting for that right - the right to dissent.

Answer 10

Starbucks sucks.
Wether or not they support the troops they don't carry coffee flavored coffee so, they suck.
