So the other day I went to Mickey Ds and saw something I never expected
I was having my dinner and some coffee, I got salad by the way... and here comes this burly guy, with what I assumed to be the wife and kid.

He wore a blackwater T-Shirt

People in the Mickey Ds started catcalling this guy.

It was a thing of beauty

Now many years ago I used to play a game called Battletech and Mercs were mistreated in one faction. That is the only place I ever read of something like that, where merc had to take food and leave restaurant. It was a thing of beauty...

Thought I'd share.

Perhaps my town (unofficially it has done this) should post a NO MONEY SOLDIERS WANTED HERE sign.

1. Sadly, that's pretty fucking cool....
Sadly, because I don't like to see people harassed; but then again, he's flying his flag proudly....why not?

3. I felt sorry for the kid, not the money soldier

4. Well, there's that crucial moment in every kid's life...
When he realizes that his old man is full of shit. For some, it just comes earlier.

Though we all divorce parents sooner or later... or at least should

2. Seems the 'bailout' even brought in the blackwater guys...
I guess the trillions for the bailout was simply given to the rich...what we all expected...

6. It must be wonderful living in a progressive town,
here in Phoenix people wouldn't even recognize a blackwater guy as the criminal bastard that he is, and would never have the presence of mind to shame him and his family out of a McDonalds. And now they are talking about taking our progressive Governor away and leaving us with a rethug.
