Many people put stickers on their cars that show something about them. Ellen Wilson of Savannah, Georgia, has an "I Love My Soldier" bumper sticker on her car to show her support for her fiance in the military. This sticker apparently enraged someone so much that they left a threatening note on Wilson's windshield while she was shopping inside her local Target store.
The note, which was unsigned, was clearly written by a person who was very angry -- it's a full-on rant with an underlined word and an expletive. It also contained a threat saying she was lucky he or she didn't slash her tires. There's more.
The letter read:
So I noticed your 'I love my soldier' decal. I’m sure he is your 'hero' too right? I feel really bad for you and how blind you must be to what is really going on in this country. First off he is NOT your hero. Your 'man' is a pawn being used in the immoral game of wholesale murder. If you're aware of the real reasons America goes to war (corporate profits) and the role 'soldiers' play in making such immoral acts possible. The last thing you would label a soldier is a hero. There is nothing heroic about blindly following immoral orders from a undeserved paycheck, especially when such orders involve the unnecessary murder of others!!! It’s people like you and your 'soldier' who are destructing our country, shame on you bitch! You’re lucky I didn’t slash your damn tires!!
The person who wrote this letter is certainly entitled to their opinion. But that's not what should be the focus here. The issue is that a stranger left a note with a threat in it on a person's windshield who they presumably didn't know. Soldiers, and those who love them, are people too and do many things beyond serving our country. We all deserve respect. The author doesn't know Wilson's stance on anything -- all that is known is that she loves her soldier like the bumper sticker said. The person who penned this letter should instead take this anger and use it in a better way -- write to the President, start a blog -- but don't attack a stranger in the form of an unsigned cowardly note calling her a bitch and threatening to slash her tires.
More from The Stir: Soldier's Disrespectful 'Selfie' Gets Her in Major Trouble
Despite it all, Wilson told WTVM that while she is shocked someone would do this, she isn't mad. She respects those who have a different opinion than she does, and she wouldn't attack someone else over it. She has, however, removed the bumper sticker at the request of her fiance, which was probably a good idea, especially since this issue has gone to the media. She shouldn't be the target for anyone else's hate
“...she removed the sticker...”
Why is it that we have to be the ones to stay quiet, so as not to offend?

It didn’t link but that’s the address on youtube...
Yep, right up there with Islamic Terrorists. And I'm not exaggerating.
They would shoot you to take away your guns.
Frankly, he wasn’t alone. I’m really sick of the U. S. is the cause of all the world’s problems mentality I see here at times.
We involve ourselves in wars because they need to be fought.
If you don’t like it, too bad.
The only thing worse than the U.S. being involved in these regions, is the U.S. not being involved in these regions.
Granted Obama hasn’t got a clue, but generally our government does better than this, and it needs to.
It was a beatdown long in the making.
The flag still means something. Don’t let Obama ruin that for you. He won’t ruin it for me. He’s a psycho bastard. Don’t support him. Just support the nation.
I’ll go out and see if can find the link.
I see no indication the perp is a communist.
You’re lucky I didn’t slash your damn tires!!
Nothing is less tolerant than a tolerant liberal.
While driving down the interstate on Sunday night, some longhair pulled up next to me in the passing lane, pointed to the back of my car where I have my blue star and Army bumper sticker for my son, and repeatedly flipped me off.
I started laughing at him. The more he acted, the longer I laughed. I could see the guy’s face getting redder and redder and finally he drove off at high speed.
For me, the only thing that would have made a perfect night would have been him driving through a speed trap.
Nothing so hateful as a tolerant Leftist.
I pray this is the video you mentioned ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k9Si28k0Fk ... and Thank You!
That is it!!!!
If someone can watch that entire thing and not get choked up, then they have no heart or no honor....
Thank YOU!!!!
an interesting experiment would be to:
-park a prius covered in leftist slogans in some conservative area
-park a pickup with republican, pro-life, NRA etc stickers in san francisco
and record the results...
That would be a great test.
No Thanks due. You have my heartfelt and sincere Thanks and I choked up and tears streamed down. What a fine young Man! Thank You!
I’m thinking of installing lib-seeking missiles on my car. Kaboom!
