On another note at least they replied and explained their reasons and that they support no side to any conflict etc. Most places don't even write back!
I also say this as an Ex service man who also still has friends serving and also has fallen friends.
Just because a company tells you thier views your going to avoid them - but those who didn't write back or possibly sent some goodies may be supporting the other side but decide not to say.
Yes it's my day off tomorrow and I will probably get one - at least I know their moneys not going to support terrorism!
