Now I am not jumping to conclusions, but its possible for the meaning of that shirt to be misunderstood.

Do me a personal favor and don't send a thing to any military personnel especially the rangers.

Quoted: Now I am not jumping to conclusions, but its possible for the meaning of that shirt to be misunderstood. It is possible. I had them made up a month before Sept 11th, and I have been using that graphic for 8 months on forums, as a joke. If anyone asks me what it means I tell them, it is directed against the enemies of the United States now, the attacks have given it a new meaning. I would of course include a letter explaining that to the soldiers. I explained that previously here as well [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=59981[/url] |

Why not just pick a unit (ANY unit), write a heartfelt letter of support, and get everyone you know, see, or meet, to sign it. Address it to the CO, and ask him/her to read it to their troops at a formation.

I thought it would be a cool thing to do...I'd like to hope not everyone is a tight-ass that can only interpret things one way. |

Personally, I like the T-shirt idea, too, but a slogan that is more easily identified as being directed towards our enemies might be more appropriate. May I suggest "Boy, am I gonna kick your ass!"

And for the Death-cards: "Another free trip to Paradise, courtesy (insert unit of choice)"

Quoted: Quoted: Do me a personal favor and don't send a thing to any military personnel especially the rangers. Why not? It's a very well intentioned gesture but parcels could be intercepted and bio-agents inserted or they could be even contaminated as they go thru the postal system even the APO system. Letter's are also very suseptible to being contaminated, I suggest donating cash to the Unit's Dependant fund if they have one. |

May I suggest "Boy, am I gonna kick your ass!" Makes sense, the thing is I already have these shirts and they aren't selling well at all. Rather than just let them sit around I thought it might be cool to give them away to some soldiers. It might be possible for me to do another run with a different slogan, I'd have to check with the guy that produces my shirts.

Well I, for one, thought it was a generous gesture.
