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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t mean we don&#8217;t support the boys on the ground fighting street -to-street and house-to-house.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks very much for your support.
