I got this message from a friend who is a veteran. I understand not everyone understands the concept that our men and women unselfishly volunteer for the freedom of others but this is horrible .

( Semper Fi Marine. Hope you are well.
A good friend of mine sent me an e-mail about how Starbucks disrespected some of your fellow Leathernecks. They were deployed to the " STAN " and wrote a letter to Starbucks seeking any free samples they could get from the company. Starbucks sent back a response to their request that they ( Starbucks ) : don't support the war or its goals OR ANYONE INVOLVED IN IT !
I've never purchased anything from those pretentious pricks before and damn sure won't now. It's my intent to spread the word to as many vets and active duty folks as I come across. There is a Starbucks in Wilford Hall Military Medical Clinic, so I wonder how the company justifies taking the money of sick and wounded active duty and retired military personnel and their dependents and having a " no tolerance " for the very people that are deployed to protect their freedom ?
War has been declared by this former squid Marine !
Hope you and your " critters " are doing well. )

Starbucks could have respectively declined a response at all but to give this answer ?

Proof. Or it's just internet bullshit.

Sounds like something one of them Russian bots came up with.

Did Starbucks Refuse Free Product to Marines Serving in Iraq?

The OP posted this twaddle - from 2004 ! - in six Texas forums.

Maybe... just MAYBE... a simple internet search would have been in order? I think I got this the first time around back in 2007-ish?

LexusLover · 02-24-2018, 02:46 AM

Is the OP offering "free samples" to former and current military personnel?

Wow. Find something better to do. We don't need political BS in Co-ed. That goes in the sandbox.

And I call BS on this.

Damn Russian bots. You trumpers gotta research a little more. Stop letting bots be your friends and reading emails from them. Yall fall for it each an every time. And then repeat it back like fucking parrots.

JohnnyYanks · 02-24-2018, 10:19 AM

The OP is likely to discover an uptick in business, but from scheming tricks wanting to get over on a gullible ho.

I'm afraid its too late...Putin controls all 2nd and 3rd tier messaging in the US. He controls the minds of all Trump voters. They actually think Progressives like me is causing mass confusion and hysteria when in reality Putin controls Trump and the US messaging....they send it out and the right wing lap it up. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage are all compromised and will never see how they're being controlled ...they can keep bringing up Obama and Hilary all they want the fact remains they're being mind controlled by the Russians ....its pretty sad ..America is on the decline...Welcome to our Banana Republic
