God Bless him despite his politics!

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Well done Starbucks.

[jjotto]

Schultz isn’t just the current CEO; he’s the guy that made it.

Another example of the Jewish exception to the rule that libs don’t give to charity.

[faithhopecharity]

GOOD FOR HIM!
(now if only he could put a little taste into their coffee!)

[peggybac]

Well, that’s gonna piss of his customers.

[CincyRichieRich]

I would guess many vets are conservative and realize StarBux isn’t too keen of our armed forces, thus, knowing it may get him more business, such a donation was more political and financial based than from the heart.

[Deagle]

Has Starbucks become too political?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Bravo!

[Tammy8]

They're coming home to an American public that really doesn't understand, and never embraced, what these people have done."

This does not sit well with me at all. I know there are many people that do feel this way, but there are many more that do understand, and embrace what they have done. Anyone that does not have a child like view liberals have understands that our military is the only reason the rest of us are free to sit down and have a cup of coffee.

It is not Starbucks that preserves our freedom. Just sounded snide from this guy, as if he didn't "understand and embrace" what they did.

Glad he donated the money but still think he is a jerk.

Saw this crap attitude after Vietnam, and it was wrong then and still wrong now.

I don’t care why he did it or what he said about it. If it’s going to help veterans, then that is a very good thing.

[Girlene]

Regardless of his motivation, this is a worthy cause. Good for him.

donating $30 million to help our war veterans

OK....to whom is this 30 mil going too?

Never trust a Leftist, even when they are saving your hide. Don’t buy the propaganda, even though the gesture appears magnanimous. Starbucks CEO is still the exact same rabid social Leftist that he has always been. This is the “softening” technique that leftists often use on unsuspecting conservatives. There is a hook in this “bait” somewhere. Do not be so naive!

If DADT had never been repealed, and the military were not now in the clutches of vengeful, rabid homosexual Gestapo, don’t think for one minute that he’d be donating to these exact same veterans. He’d be working overtime against them.

[GAFreedom]

Politics or no, blessings on him for his gift to veterans. Whatever his motivations, I’ll judge the action itself.

“I think my responsibility now is I have seen things, and I've heard things and I've met these people and their families, and you just can't be a bystander,” he told CBS, recalling a recent visit to Walter Reed. “You have to do everything you can to tell their story and help them.”

If only more people like him were moved to take action as he was. I say God Bless him for allowing himself to be moved to action. This is a wonderful thing he's doing.

I have a Starbucks in the building I work and occasionally stop down there in the afternoon for a tea. When I get back to work this week I'm going to be sure to let the folks who work there know that they have a heck of a CEO and tell them about this story.

I personally would be extremely proud of my CEO for doing something like this. It lets you as an employee know that you're also working and contributing to something much larger than a cup of coffee.

[hinckley buzzard]

White liberal guilt strikes again. Fashionable to have pity on vets as long as you have an anti-war slant to it. Too bad his money won't go to anyone who actually needs it.
