Isn't it interesting how those on the left are always stating that they support the troops - it is just the war they oppose? At least in the case of Starbucks this seems to be false. For some time there has been speculation that Starbucks not only opposes the war, but in fact they do not support our troops either. Many think the actions of Starbucks indicates that they believe our troops are not worthy of support because they are standing on the front lines so we can sleep easy at night. My research has convinced me that this is not speculation.

Martin: the story you linked to is false. Not true. A lie. A hoax. A myth. An urban legend. Not to be believed.

The links Kathianne and 82Marine89 posted show you what actually happened. Starbucks is not ignoring the troops.

I just did, but their was a little part of that, where it said, if their employees donate their free coffee, they lose theirs, and starbucks saying, we cant donate because of some b.s. policy

but apparently my story was wrong, and i said so

I dont have a neg rep pencil

Its not hard to boycott star bucks because most people have better things to spend 5$ on than a cup of coffee.

That is a misconception, A large cup of coffee at Starbucks is under 2 dollars. You have to order a specialty drink to get it to 5 bucks.

Black coffee to me is rot gut, the good stuff is the specialty drinks but they are not 5$ good, there fore I would rather buy something else with my 5$ like an entire breakfast meal at burger king including the black coffee.
