Anyone seen this Buick ad?
There's this lady who makes boxes for customers to fill with cards to say "Thank you to our troops." Would you send one?

1. Why not? It's not their fault the leadership stuck them there.

2. That's all GM dealerships, not just Buick.
Done it. Liked it. No one even tried to sell me a car. Hope they continue this.

4. absolutely. Democrats support the troops.
its the "deciderer" who puts the troops in harm's way that we have a legitimate problem with.

5. That commercial gets under my skin...
"Soon all of America will be with us!"

Drop off a card for the troops while buying your new GMC gas guzzler.

Gee!

WE SURE DO KNOW HOW TO MAKE SACRIFICES DON'T WE!

6. Are we also sending cards to Peace Corps volunteers,
and overseas diplomats?

Whenever I'm asked to send things to the troops, I send them to Peace Corps volunteers instead. They get paid less (subsistence wages), take great risks, often the only American in an area, are working to be goodwill for the rest of us around the world, and go completely ignored.
