Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Oh that is just great. I don't drink Starbucks anyway but if I did I would not be giving them any business after hearing this. Hope that everyone joins in boycotting Starbucks and hit them in the wallet where it hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs, wrote: Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks! ! ! Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted tolet them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that theysend some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marinesthank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does notsupport 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 bybuying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open. Iknow this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn'tmean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street andhouse-to-house. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you candiscard it and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when Ideploy once more.

FYI: Don't forget that when the Twin Towers were hit, the fire fightersand rescue workers went to Starbucks for water for the survivors and workers (because it was close by) and Starbucks charged them!
