I Support the Shit Out of The Troops, And I Have the T-Shirt to Prove It

I recently came across some emails which detail a brilliant one step plan to show the troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan how much we care about them. Awesome! What do I need to do? Should I volunteer at a Veterans Hospital? Or maybe I should send a donation to a worthwhile cause like Disabled American Veterans? Then again I read that the Army and Marines have been having a lot of trouble meeting their recruitment goals. Maybe I should stop being such a big fat pussy typing shit on the internet, and enlist already. Oh man, I can't wait to hear this idea, let's have it!

Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is that starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, that we and every red blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV, lets see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at the University of Nebraska, Alabama or Georgia. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, drinking buddies, country club friends, I guarantee you that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - much to the disdain of the un-American ralliers. Let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

Wear Red? Every single Friday? Shit, freedom really isn't free. Apparently, freedom costs $9.92 at walmart.com. Well, I sure as shit don't want to be an "un-American rallier", so here goes:


On it's face, this sounds like the stupidest fucking idea ever. It seems counter productive to our "mission of peace" to glorify the blood shed by our military. I thought the official position was that we aren't over there just to bust some heads. But kudos on finding a way to help the troops out without even needing to put down your Playstation controller. I'm sure that a 20 year old kid driving a Humvee on a mine laden desert road in 100 degree weather while his wife and 6 month old baby try to get by on his shitty near poverty wages will be really inspired by your show of patriotism.

Then again maybe I'm just a cynic. Even the people of Iraq seem to be fully embracing this call to "wear something red".
