I sent enough for 3. Yeah, it would be Utopia if we who served got taken care of.
Myself and many others can't even get decent medical care at the VA,
even though I have a service connected Disability.
Since I can give a Warrior a 2 dollar damn cup of coffee, I will.
I mean 2 bucks, cmon not gonna break anyone.

It is not that 2$ will break me.  I just don't want a company making money by using service men as an excuse.  It is really low!

And yes, you guys should be taken care off injured or not.  There is a cause to vote for and to worry about instead of watching Snookie on the news last night  :rolleyes:  The really sad part is that this country has the means to do that for you.  We just choose not to.

You are missing the point.  I do send.  Every day.  It is called paying taxes.  That money should be spend in taking care things like that.  Instead of aid to Pakistan, spend it in taking care of these guys.  Are we saying that these guys are not even provided decent coffee and some coffee company has to ask for donations (for a small profit)?  Is that acceptable?

As I said.  You fight for your country, everything should be taken care for you and your family for the rest of your life.

I am not at all missing the point.  I completely agree with your sentiment in terms of providing support, and you just threw a whole load of words into my mouth.  My only point was to say that this company is not making a killing off of this service, as was implied in earlier posts.

haha, I never said you said those things.  That was me just talking.  As for the company making a killing, we don;t know and it does not matter.  It is the intention that counts.

Then again, 1,000,000 contributions * $2 makes for a good golfing trip  :lol

Excellent!  Send the 2$ to the coffee company but when one of them comes back with a missing arm or a leg take their house away and provide the minimum support and care for them.  We are all sooooo coool  :aok

Have you noticed our budget deficits?  That's all I can say without awakening the giant.
