Interesting Email

I received an email from a friend of mine and I am not really sure what to think of it. We all at sometime have gotten a "hoax" type email but this one bothered me a little.

Title: Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks any more....

Body:
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they
wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and
to request that they send some of it to the troops there.

Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their
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 not support
them by buying any of their products! I feel we should get
this out in the open. I know this war might not be very
popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't
support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and
house-to-house.

If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can
discard it and no one will never know.

Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there
again when I deploy once more. Semper Fidelis."

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS ..

ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL

IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED

SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO

CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!!

I guess my biggest problem is that the soldiers did not choose to go to war. It wasn't like they all got together in a big field and had a school yard vote about this. You may not support the war but atleast have some compassion for those who have been forced to go and fight in that war. I am sure there are many soldiers who feel the same way, but being that it is their duty, they must go!

If you know anything about this please confirm or deny it. I would hate to think that a company would actually say "They do not support people". If there is an ounce of truth to this email then same on Starbucks and if this email is a hoax, shame on whoever made it up!

I don't drink Starbucks anyways, had it once and wasn't impressed.
