I respect your opinion Wolf but i dont agree with it. I am not a fan of their coffee either. too expensive and i think it taste bad but i do buy products from their stores. (my wife likes their mochas). I have come across a lot of baristas that work there that are spouses of service men. I just wanted to point out the rest of the story.
There are about 5 or 6 military installations within about 45 mins (most of these bases have starbucks stores) of the starbucks corp office. I think if Starbucks was not supporting our military it would be widely publicized here locally.
If interested in reading how they support the armed forces this is from their web site. Take care
