Gotta wonder if any part of that email is at all true. I find it hard to believe that some troops would actually write to Starbucks and ask for coffee....how are they going to prepare the double mocha frappa smoothychino anyway??

Let's see a copy of either letter - from the troops, or back from Starbucks, and then I'll believe it.

Sounds more like the sort of thing a disgruntled customer, or competitor would circulate to try and do damage to the company.

It was a hoax, an unfortunate understanding judging by the link that Elfie posted, you people really should read the link he posted, might answer at least some of the questions.

Jur

I have an idea:

Bring your boys home so they can have all the Starbucks coffee they want ánd they don´t have to risk their lives anymore.....

Stop the war!

rugbymatt

Is that really the solution?

Jur

You come up with one then.

rugbymatt

It was you with all the answers mate, and personally, bringing them home will be the biggest disaster ever. People always moan on about the fact no one has ever won in Afghanistan, but what no one understands is that we are not trying to win, we are trying to establish a government and civil structure so that the people can live a life that is a little better than the third world medieval hell it used to be.

What we should be doing is giving the troops that are there more support and the equipment they need to complete their mission.

Jur

When did I give you the impression I have all the answers, I think you´re confusing me with Fortaleza......

Just go along with your opinion, I´m not in favour of us people killing eachother (being helpful or not), therefore I am against war.

rugbymatt

Neither am I in favour of people killing one another, but think for a second the young woman in the football stadium killed by the Taliban for what? Supposedly killing her husband, but with no trial, no witnesses, no proof, who is to tell?
Unfortunately Jur, we don't live in a fair world, and someone has to do the dirty work.

rugbymatt

Oh and nice call on Forty, know it all git isnt he?

Jur

What about the stabbing to death of a young Polish boy outside one of your London clubs last year? Why don´t you deal with that?

I love and loathe him.

rugbymatt

Someone has to!

Jur

Hey! That quoting and rewriting is a really neat trick! Just reported it.

rugbymatt

Eh?

Jur

read quote !

rugbymatt

Yeah, you have just re written what I wrote, very clever, and so valuable to the conversation. Brilliant Jur, utterly brilliant.



I swear, its like talking to children.
