Credit card companies call commanding officers in the United States armed forces to pressure soldiers to pay their interest-inflated debt, National Public Radio reported several days ago.
In other news, yellow ribbon magnets emblazoned with "Support Our Troops" are more popular than ever on cars, trucks, and low-mileage so-called Sport Utility Vehicles.
"Our soldiers, forced to fight for oil and empire, face injury and amputation, death, and killing attackers and innocents," said unknown social critic Benjamin Melançon. "Coward's yellow is the right color for anyone who hasn't done anything for our soldiers except put a ribbon on their rolling monument to fossil fuel dependence."
"And not even stickers, but easily removeable magnets, as if ready remove and no longer 'Support Our Troops' when the war gets too unpopular," he added.
"But in resisting credit card company abuse of the chain of command, we can all support our soldiers in the same way, people for the war and people against the war. We can come together without reservation," Melançon said. "Here in the United States, purported patriots can prove they aren't pushovers, patsies, or pissant posers. Pressure politicians to prevent pocket-picking plunderers from leaving U.S. soldiers with nothing but shattered minds and bodies."
"If you can't even contact your representatives to tell them to make greedy credit card companies lay off of people who can be court-martialed for disobeying their commanders, don't you tell me to 'Support Our Troops'," concluded still-unknown social critic Melançon, rather unprofessionally.
