Red Fridays

[waterspyder]

Red Fridays make me really uncomfortable.

I support our military and its endeavours.

I do not support war.

I never want people to get confused about that.

Not to mention the whole thing reeks of propaganda tactic.

So when everyone at work tells me to wear red on Friday, repeatedly, and then asks me why I didn't on Friday, it makes me uncomfortable. I won't go to the gym on Fridays either for the same reason.

Do you think it would be wrong to remind people that not everyone shares the same political beliefs? I think people lose sight of that sort of thing.

To the best of my knowledge the wearing red to support the troops was started by the fmailies and friends of soldiers from CFB Petawawa. There is no agenda other than letting people know that people from their community are overseas doing something that very well might get them killed. It was simply away to keep the faceless Johnny and Jenny Canuck Soldier in everyones thoughts. It was not conceived of as a political statement. Only a wish to let the soldiers that are currently serving that we are thinking of them and their wellbeing.

I wish it felt like that at work...

Fuck other people. Do what is in your heart and it won't steer your wrong. You are a good person.

I'd rather mail a Christmas card to Kandahar than fuel the culture breeding at work.
