I think paying your respects to the men and women in uniform is just fine. Wearing a red shirt is a tad absurd.
Occasionally, these sorts of symbols catch on, while I'm sure most of the time, they fail. Here in OKC, following the OKC bombing, we all drove around with our lights on for months as if to say "I remember" or to show solidarity or something like that. As with all fads, that died. I guess that means we forgot about the bombing??
Didn't the bloody shirts help put Ulysses S. Grant in office?
That worked out well

Tom, you're so unbelievably obtuse! No one in this thread suggested that they didn't care about our troops. It's the stupid red shirt idea that's the problem. (Well, that and the cheap sentimentality associated with it.)
Personally, I prefer actively doing something rather than being concerned with my wardrobe.

Thanks to Tinia2 for the links.

Earp,
Ditto what Leslie Anne said.
Also, Wearing a red shirt in the US can get you killed. It is often associated with Gang Colors and if you show up on gang-turf, consider yourself an open target.
On second thought Tom, wear red.

If none of you want to, then dont and quite bitching about it?
I or the post never said you have to! It was just a suggestion only!
I have never seen so many pisses and moans out of the same mouths that you try to talk out of.
You as AlphaFrog and others would rather complain about any and everything! 
Oh AF, I have a plumbing problem do you have a wrench and travel?
S & G
TPU!
OH, BTW, have a swell day!
Did I spell everything right?
Just trying to make sure everything is OK!

Sorry I don't do service work. However, if you want a multimillion dollar commercial plumbing project bid and contracts signed, I'm your girl.

Quit is spelled "quit." You need to drop the "e."
It is an alright post, but I agree just wearing red is not enough. Me wearing a red shirt in Po Dunk USA is nice for me to know personally why I'm wearing red. However, unless I wear a sandwich board saying "red is for the troops" everyone will think I am just wearing a red shirt. It is like wearing pink for breast cancer. It is nice to show support, but just wearing a colored shirt is not doing anything. If we all want to show support, go out and do something; don't just wear a certain color.

Lol, I want a "Save the Tatas" shirt! I have no problem supporting troops. Wearing red every Friday won't bring them home safely or give their lost ones life again, but if it was like a national day of solidarity, then I'm down. That's not the overkill part for me--comparing soldiers to Jesus?
Now, where's that overkill? Oh...over there. Nice try, Earpie. I look forward to the next one.
