(Milford-AP, Aug. 14, 2006 6:13 AM) _ A poster protest in Milford continues with some military veterans taking issues with a poster in the window of a local liquor store.

Some veterans organizations are calling for a boycott of TJs Package store if owner Thomas Jakubisyn does not remove the cartoon poster.

The cartoon depicts a soldier in camouflage and reads: "Out of Work? Undereducated? No Health Plan? Join the Army and see Iraq."

Jakubisyn, a Vietnam veteran, says he has no intention of taking the sign down.

Members of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America and Military Moms have joined forces and formed "Veterans and Families for the Troops."

One of the protesters says the cartoon feeds into an inaccurate stereotype that American soldiers are less educated and less employable.

I don't even know where to begin....

Well, it's time to buy elsewhere, isn't it. Screw the dumb son of a bitch.

War of Words on Iraq

What is that guy thinking????

I hope he goes out of business.

T J's Package Store
43 River St
Milford, CT

Guess we won't be inviting this piece of trash to the anti-Murtha rally.

[Coop]

He's thinking how to insert the blade cleanly between the shoulders of all our folks proudly serving today.

"Well, it's time to buy elsewhere, isn't it"

Yup.
That's the beauty of freedom.
This fool is free to trash our soldiers.
Equally normal thinking Americans are free to stop buying his garbage.
Maybe he should be asking the ditzy chicks how their concert is going these days.
Note to sucker : No, the army won't have you when you go out of business.

[Kolb]

Exactly. Once you start hitting them in the pocketbook they will be begging for mercy.

[Jameison]

Looks every bit as stupid as expected.

[LibLieSlayer]

His nose tells me this guy drinks a lot of his profits from the liquor store!

LLS

[Allegra]

I have the honor of working with our fine troops.

The vast majority of them are clean-cut, well-spoken, respectful people who make me proud to be American.

Thomas Jakubisyn isn't good enough to clean the boots of any soldier I've ever met here.

[BillyBonebrake]

I live in Milford - he's milking this for all its worth. Lots of local moonbats who hang out at the wannabe starbucks up the street are embracing him.

But in this case some people are as stupid as they look.

[Jameison]

" Lots of local moonbats who hang out at the wannabe starbucks up the street are embracing him"

They would wouldn't they?
Let's see how long it lasts.

I noticed that as well.

I just don't get folks like this. You can disagree with America's foreign policy, and even trash the President/SecDef/SecState/whomever. They're big boys and girls and can defend themselves. But to trash our troops and their families left behind at home? ESPECIALLY when this turd was one of them?!?

I truly despise the slimeballs like TJ, Murtha and John Kerry.

Oh, that's right. I forgot. They support the troops, but not the war. < / sarcasm >

[Miss Marple]

How do we know he really IS a Vietnam Vet? For all we know, he's a veteran of the Flight to Canada. Or he could be a Vietnam era vet who served at a public affairs office in South Dakota.

[JimRed]

But to trash our troops and their families left behind at home? ESPECIALLY when this turd was one of them?!?

Probably a draftee who never really WAS one of them.

[Red Badger]

Maybe it should have said "Join the Navy and ride the WAVES!"................

[fatrat]

What are you waiting for, shut him down.

[Coop]

Since it's so darned easy, we'll let you take the lead.
