Guest Taylor Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 TBH, they aren't really "corporate crooks" they've done good for our veterans in the past. I'd say DD is a better of the few corporations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say DD is a better of the few corporations.No, I know, it's just that, being military myself, I hate the fact that there are very few big name coporations who actually give back to the soldiers who give their everything for our tomorrow. I mean, without getting started on war itself, which none of my friends will tlak to me about anymore , they're not getting the respect and support they deserve. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taylor Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Oh I agree... I've got a friend who's in the Canadian Military.. he's Infantry and don't talk to him much anymore :\ but yeah, I've been involved in the penpal programs where you send carepackages and letters to soldiers, this time I think I'm going to do a Marine instead of a soldier.

I know he went to China for a vacation, he lives somewhere North of me and his name is Nathan. Haha. I hear Canada controls a lot of Afghanistan. Marines are being sent there with the surge for Afghanistan like 35,000 of em' and I know that just one person makes a difference with this stuff.

We've got over 2,500 of our service men and women there, and the Marines are coming in strong to give us a hand lol. We've lost 117 brave soldiers, airmen and sailors. It's nothing compared to the States casualties, but I attended the services for one of our soldiers about a month ago. And listening to his fiancee talk about him, and how the last words he said to her was, "This isn't good-bye. It's I'll see you soon. I love you, babe, and I'll see you soon." That was the single hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. We really need to start rallying support on both sides of this border. It sickens me when kids at school ask me why I want to fight for oil. I tell them it's not about the cause. That's the politicians problems, and the Generals problems. Its about the guys next to you, who want to cmoe home just as badly as you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taylor Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Damn straight man. It's sad that there are just too many stories like that, but in the big picture, it is what happens in war, it's not pretty, NO ONE likes it, but sometimes it must be done. Taking it out on the soldier is shooting the messenger. I hate what happens to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter42 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The level of patriotism in America amazes me, it's so awesome (I got to spend two hours at Atlanta airport with soldiers - The amount of praise and gifts they received is amazing).That's pretty awesome. Good for them. Good cause too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like hearing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say from a factual standpoint that the Marines are definitely tougher than Soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emergency4freak Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's for sure. I know Tim Horton's in Canada has a thing where they bring over coffee and stuff to our troops fighting over in Afghanistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 ahh this kind of brings back memories. I used to work at a company that called people(like telemarketing) but we raised donations for charities. It was a good cause and all but people are gona jump all over this i bet and say great for DD, but we did a 6-8 weeks campaign for American Homless Vetrans(nearly a half a million us soldiers homeless on our streets each night by the way) and people would ask how much of each donation goes to the charity as they realized we were paid to do it. We gave 57%, and people would chew us the fuck out! Yet DD gives 10% and people will probably go all out.Btw, AHV got 57% of each donation but most of the other charities got like 10-15% usually.
