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
You are correct.
And I thank you for your service.
Could be. I’ve seen tons of posts on FR from supporters of certain candidates addressing the evils of the military-industrial complex as well. Addressing profits, but not communists. Could be a libertarian/isolationist. Doesn’t really matter.
JW1949 brought the vid to my attention. JW1949 deserves all the credit. Please Thank, JW1949. No thanks is due me. Yes, a fine young Man standing there on Omaha Beach to honor America. Truly believe America is filled and our cup overflows with these fine young Men and Women.
See you found the proper person to Thank and that is great that you did. Thank You!
agree with you
Road rage lefties are getting out of control!
What a disrespectful POS!
You acted better than I would have. I’d have run the schmuck off the road!
sure. Though my concern would be a terror supporter of any stripe. Including domestic. I’d like to have seen someone review the surveillance tapes just in case. There was a threat made, after all.
I shouldn’t have popped off at you.
Was really just kind of amused at all the (well-deserved) vituperation being leveled at the cowardly creep, and that you seemed to be drawing the line at communist.
(I think the guy was probably just using the term in the sense of “you dirty commie,” as a substitute for rotten leftist, or whatever.)
At any rate your thoughtful response is appreciated.
Unless you have some old beater that you don't mind someone keying or damaging. In the old days a I had a Blazer with two bumper stickers.
One said: "Work harder. Millions on Welfare Depend on You!"
The other said: "I don't believe the liberal media".
I only got flipped off a couple of times, but got many more thumbs up.
One time some old geezer started to pull in front of me while driving. At first I thought it was because he was just confused.
Turns out he was trying to give me the A-OK sign about my stickers.
Been thinking about your post and want to say ... I know it is getting too dark to see and we (many of us) are knocking on Heavens door but with our Lord's help maybe each of us has one firefight left in us if God calls. At least if God calls at His chosen time. The best would happen that God not call us to one more firefight. Can't be guaranteed one way or the other but am will to be you too have once more left if called. See you on the other side friend.

and please pardon my spelling errors ... I should retype the entire message ... was full of spelling errors at the end LOL. See you soon friend. Bet God will introduce us.
Not a big deal, I wasn’t offended. We all agree it was an *sshole, gender irrelevant.
Those are the only two stickers I’ve ever put on any vehicle I’ve ever owned. He’s serving for me. It’s the least I can do to be proud.
I just returned and read your post...Spelling doesn’t count...It’s the words from the heart that means the most...I thank you and agree...We all have one more firefight left in us...
I think we’ll get the job done and have no regrets...
Why thank you, dear lady.
If the leftist prick had done that to my son’s car or my daughter’s car, they’d be human swiss cheese, as both are open and concealed carry people. Son is a combat veteran of Iraq and a former federal police officer.
Me, I’d just introduce the smuck to my geology pick. Didn’t use his brains, won’t need them in that case.
Wow, this reminds me of the great scene in The Best Years of Our Lives when an American Firster takes on the soldier with the hooks for hands! It’s almost as if this person copied the script’s speech. Dana Andrews punches him out -
How did the creep know the owner of the car was a woman? Could of been a man - they let gays into the army now. Sounds like a major hate crime to me...
Well, every time you put a sticker on your car, someone is going to look at it - that’s why you put it there, right?
I’m an inveterate reader of bumper stickers - I love reading them when stuck in traffic or even when a car is in front of me. On the other hand, the only sticker I have on my car today is one about my cat. Pretty bland.
