Is there some reason why the oh so awful sacrifice of putting on a different color piece of clothing on a specific day to show you remember and support the people who put their lives on the line and life on hold to defend you and all you care about, including spending hours with toys and comics and anime, is a subject for derision and verbal diminution? You want an result, it makes all the wives and children and husbands and parents of those soldiers feel better that someone else gives a damn that they’re living in hell living every day with the empty hole in their life where the service member over there in harm’s way.
Everyone knows that if you oppose the war (and by extension want the troops home safe), you hate the troops. If you really had a brother in Iraq, you would want him to be constantly at risk of DEATH!!!!!! Because nothing says “patriotism” like blindly following the orders of the political class. You know, like the Founding Fathers did.
My wife spent a year in Afghanistan, about a year home, and is now in Kuwait. I miss my wife, our friends, and I worry about them constantly but I hate those chain letters.
I think the author of this letter knows of a plot to kill the President on a Friday using automatic weapons and figures that a sufficiently large number of redshirts will protect him due to their irresistible gunfire-, monster-, and death ray-attracting powers.
send it back and ask for a refund lol
And a nickel to take the pamphlet writer’s mom on a night out.
Well, uhm, Optimus Prime is red!
And blue… Optimus Prime is a true American! :O
Optimus Prime wears red, blue and white.
The Australian flag is red, blue and white.
Australia is well-known for being sports-mad.
Communism is madness.
Therefore Optimus Prime is a communist.
This makes my soul laugh.
…Mr. Beck?

An easier conection would’ve been Russia…
Till all are one!
See, I interpret a “sea of red” as blood. Lots and lots of blood. So they want the troops to come home to a bloody America.
…Maybe I should stop commenting on political comments. I don’t think they help me in any way. >_>
THAT’S IT!!!! We must slit every wrist in America.
FOR PATRIOTISM.
I am a horrible, twisted person… and proud of it.

Clearly, you are lying to yourself.

I am absolutely horrified that the internet has made it so that I need to ask this, but:
Sarcasm?

I wish I had seen this when it was new. I would have replaced “Red” with “Blue” and sent it on.
I would’ve replaced it with, like, “cheese” or something.
And then every Friday I’d go out looking for someone who actually took it seriously.
I want to point out how i think this letter is trying to support terrorists by making ever american civilian into a red shirt.
