Was that for a family member of someone we all know and used to love?

Family Member.


Not to insult anyone in or with loved one's in the service, but I must say, I can not stand
the glorification of violence death and destruction that these things often portray. I just
don't get it.

"I'm going to kick your ass and get away with it", "Kill", "Maim", etc.
doesn't exactly signify to me the things you mentioned.

Maybe that's just me though.

I think it's "shop talk" for servicemen who's lives depend on confidence and comraderie.
Their lifes are intertwined to the extent that their safety is in each others hands.
If I where in a similar situation... I'd want my buddy to have my back... whatever it took.
Hence, the bravado  and bluntness.

I'd be willing to bet the owners of those shirts are selective about when they where them.

Am I understanding this right, that this shirt is being considered controversial?
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

Hey, they are the ones that risk having their heads removed in a not so humane way, so if they want to kill/maim a few of them in the process, I am OK with it.

Should we have put discuss/debate on either side?  Doesn't work in the real world, people understand the universal language of pain, pure and simple.

Man.  Sorry to hear that.  I passed mine (ONE!) a week ago, Tuesday morning.  First one in about 35 years.  I had forgotten the symptoms and went to the hospital thinking appendix.

I paid for a SPOF shirt over a year ago, still waiting for it.  Preston must be to busy trying to sell that fools gold they call Printex.

I am in the same boat I guess I had to go back and search for it to remember.

It started out with someone needing the art done for a family member in the service. Jason stepped up and did a bang up job and was promised a shirt for it. Thats all i have to say on it.

Hey Jason, I feel your pain. if I had even half of the shirts that have been mentioned or even promised to me, over the years from board buddies, my wardrobe would be set for the rest of my life!

btw, I am a XXL, my wife is a L and a PM will get you my address. If it needs to be a surprise, a Google search for Frog Prints Walnut Creek should get you an address even though my website does not list it.
