Recently, Royal Marines in Iraq, wrote to "Starbucks" because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their different coffees, and to request that they send some of it to the troops there. 'Starbucks' replied, telling the Marines, thank you for your support of their business, but that 'Starbucks' does not support 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 support them by NOT buying any of their products! This war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the lads on the ground, fighting street-to-street and, house-to-house, getting shot up and in some cases getting killed. They do it so that Company's like 'Starbucks' can carry on trading with the lessened fear of some nutter driving a car loaded with high explosive, in through their front door.

  Also, don't forget that when the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed, the fire fighters and rescue workers went to 'Starbucks' because it was near, to get water for the survivors and workders, and 'Starbucks' CHARGED THEM FOR IT!!!

 As an added note: 'Starbucks' had coffee shops on several military bases in the United States. They are now being removed because of this. There are 227 'Starbucks' Coffee Shops across the UK and there's no doubt that our Servicemen and Women would probably get the same response from this Company. For myself, I intend to do my bit and boycott 'Starbucks' to show them how  despicable I think their actions are.
