7. Torturers should not be supported
nor troops that desicrate holy shrines for no reason. Rapists and murderers should not be supported either. Seeing as there are many sad tales of returning US soldiers committing suicide, it seems to me that they have been forced to do things that they literally cannot live with. This is so sad because this all was preventable.

That being said, the yellow ribbon on my car was bought from the local Guard unit's relatives so that they could purchase body armor. It cost a lot more than $1.98. I'm incensed that people can show 'patriotism' by buying the things at gas stations and not have any of the funds go to help people. Personally, I think that all money from the sale of these things should go to literally support the troops, not line the pockets of some businessman.
