Personally, i think target sucks ass. Just another reason not to go into the store. My father is a veteran, and i may be in just a few years. I have a high amount of respect for our veterans and cannot conceive why a national chain store such as target would not go as far as even acknowledging our bretheren in arms.

"We only donate to the areas of the arts, social actions, gay and lesbian causes, and education."

Oh yeah, lets just give all of the money to the poor gays and lesbians :evil: Thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard. I am not a veteran myself but i know a lot of them. This should be made public, get an email around or something that target will not support are nations retired military. I've never liked that stupid store anyway....
