Speer 0 #28 September 17, 2003 Andrew, Ok, I confess, I do consider a companies affiliation with military activities / product sales, and it is based on personal ethical grounds. I choose to support and patronize companies which provide beneficial products and / or service to my countries military... of course i'm somewhat prejudiced... living here and all. I further confess to having gladly contributed personally to the furtherance of my countries pursuits, militarily speaking... and still do. I'm certain after many years of experience, that my views will be ridiculed as naive, possessed only by the brainwashed, and ignored as meaningless. Having said that, I will however, buy the product that is the best choice for the task I have at hand ( unless of course it supports an enemy of my country). I will stipulate that there are some low life, limp dick, lame ass, scum bag, shit eating, puke proffering, traitorous rat bastards that put profit above the welfare of our warriors... but I believe that is the minority, accentuated in the media rather than the reality... even taking into account that the low bidder usually gets the contract. Pretty much like any industry, there are good companies, and bad companies. I, rather unfairly perhaps, infer from your question as posed, that you take a contrary position. Your profile is apparently not available, so I do not know what country you live in. Perhaps you have good reason for not supporting companies that do business with your military. Do you care to answer your own question? Russ Generally, it is your choice; will your life serve as an example... or a warning? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
