Folks: I saw on the news last night that soldiers are losing their jobs while in the Middle East. Those companies are really “Un-American” IMNSHO!!
I know that there are probably many loop holes which will make government sanctions difficult if not outright impossible. The first one to come to mind is the fact that all soldiers today are volunteers.
However, I see nothing wrong with private citizens producing a data base (black list) of such employers and boycotting them.
Overall, industry has been pretty supportive. Many even pay the difference between military pay and what the soldier would otherwise make.
Perhaps a simple sign on the door would reward them: “This Store supports our fighting men!”.
