'I Love My Soldier' Bumper Sticker Sparks Hate-Filled Note From Stranger
CafeMom ^ | 7-16-14 | Michele Zipp

Posted on 07/30/2014 5:11:51 PM PDT by SJackson

Many people put stickers on their cars that show something about them. Ellen Wilson of Savannah, Georgia, has an "I Love My Soldier" bumper sticker on her car to show her support for her fiance in the military. This sticker apparently enraged someone so much that they left a threatening note on Wilson's windshield while she was shopping inside her local Target store.

The note, which was unsigned, was clearly written by a person who was very angry -- it's a full-on rant with an underlined word and an expletive. It also contained a threat saying she was lucky he or she didn't slash her tires. There's more.

The letter read:

So I noticed your 'I love my soldier' decal. I’m sure he is your 'hero' too right? I feel really bad for you and how blind you must be to what is really going on in this country. First off he is NOT your hero. Your 'man' is a pawn being used in the immoral game of wholesale murder. If you're aware of the real reasons America goes to war (corporate profits) and the role 'soldiers' play in making such immoral acts possible. The last thing you would label a soldier is a hero. There is nothing heroic about blindly following immoral orders from a undeserved paycheck, especially when such orders involve the unnecessary murder of others!!! It’s people like you and your 'soldier' who are destructing our country, shame on you bitch! You’re lucky I didn’t slash your damn tires!!

The person who wrote this letter is certainly entitled to their opinion. But that's not what should be the focus here. The issue is that a stranger left a note with a threat in it on a person's windshield who they presumably didn't know. Soldiers, and those who love them, are people too and do many things beyond serving our country. We all deserve respect. The author doesn't know Wilson's stance on anything -- all that is known is that she loves her soldier like the bumper sticker said. The person who penned this letter should instead take this anger and use it in a better way -- write to the President, start a blog -- but don't attack a stranger in the form of an unsigned cowardly note calling her a bitch and threatening to slash her tires.

More from The Stir: Soldier's Disrespectful 'Selfie' Gets Her in Major Trouble

Despite it all, Wilson told WTVM that while she is shocked someone would do this, she isn't mad. She respects those who have a different opinion than she does, and she wouldn't attack someone else over it. She has, however, removed the bumper sticker at the request of her fiance, which was probably a good idea, especially since this issue has gone to the media. She shouldn't be the target for anyone else's hate

I see no indication the perp is a communist

How about some of the other terms applied here to the perp: lefty, coward, despicable, hissy-fit foaming at the mouth insane leftist, damned coward, hater/threat-thrower, Typical Lefty Pussy, wretch, anonymous little pussy, sniveling punk, kook and leftist scumbag.

We good with you there?

I believe we have more likely a whole Nation of these (our young Men and Women) and from Heaven we shall welcome them as they save this Nation. I truly believe.

That’s the major problem with America these days. We’ve got way too many leftwing extremist HATERS who hate America and the military.

My wish: we would be utilized to do what we do best, blow stuff up, break things, and offend the enemy so badly that they pack their toys and run home.
Instead, we are used as “police” for “policing actions” where we aren’t allowed to win, or we are babysitting.
Currently, babysitting illegals on military posts.
*spits*

Interesting. For two years we were the only ones flying a flag from our mailbox. Now, over half the house on the street have them. Someone complained to the homeowners association and was told to 'get over it.'

Happy to read your post LonePalm. Thank You for starting and continuing a wonderful trend in your neighborhood of flying America’s flag.

“If you're aware of the real reasons America goes to war (corporate profits)”

Yes, the perp is a commie. Probably a 60’s leftover. Used to call returning Vietnam vets ‘babykillers’.

I saw this on facebook, and it had a very clear photo of the letter. I think the writing looks like a woman’s. That is something a lefty woman would do— leave an anonymous written diatribe to a total stranger because her sensibilities were somehow offended. “Slash your tires” is also something a woman would threaten. I can even hear her condescending, shrill tone in my head when I read it.

I’m going with it is one of those pretentious and oh-so-tolerant leftists of the female persuasion.

I have put the flag out nearly every single day since 9-11, and more of our neighbors seem to be flying them every day. Two new neighbors put theirs out right away on the days on which they moved in, which made me smile.

Am proud of the two of you. Your actions have created a positive trend in your neighborhoods. Is a sign, I pray. Would love to see our flag go up Proudly once more and fly, if nothing more than for Americans to Proudly show ... We are unafraid. Thank You Both! Mine will go up tomorrow morning. You two have inspired me also. Thanks!!!

You're welcome.

My commissioning oath in the Navy did not come with an expiration date.

Unfortunately, it is about all I can do these days.
