GI Attempting to Get Sleeping Mats Sent to Iraq Gets Nothing But Insults Back From Company: Disgraceful

An American soldier attempting to order some sleeping mats for his soldiers and himself got a rude e-mail back from the company he was attempting to order from, saying that if he had any sense, he and his men should get out of Iraq.

What a darn shame.

There's a time and a place to express one's views on Iraq, but not in the course of a business transaction, and not against a soldier who's trying to make life a little easier for the people in his unit. A simple "Sorry, we don't, but you may want to try..." would have been acceptable, but whoever was reading the e-mail had to choose that way to express his political views.

I would encourage people not to do business with this company.
