Maybe the army shouldn't accept this free comic?

The Army Times is reporting about an Avengers special called Spirit of America that's going to be given as a freebie to the US troops.

However, after all the anti-war, anti-military tactics Marvel's been shoving into other books, including that horror story they put out called Silent War #6, I've been starting to wonder if the soldiers of the US Army who like comics should be accepting any bonus book Marvel prints for army audiences at all. Whereas in one book, Marvel may purport to honor the troops, in another they insult and offend them. What's the use then of accepting Marvel's "gift"?

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
