Magnets Don't Equal Support!

Whenever I drive by a vehicle with a "Support the Troops" sticker I always wonder if the occupants of the vehicle have actually done more to support the troops than affixing that lousy sticker to the car! This article articulates some of my feelings about those ubiquitous signs!

"That is when I began to be annoyed by those ever-present, good-intentioned but mindless ribbons stuck on the back of cars and SUVs exhorting, "Support Our Troops." I find those magnetic messages to be offensive when I think of parents and friends of National Guard soldiers who purchased expensive Kevlar armor for their soldiers while Donald Rumsfeld said they didn't have any in stock."
