Like I said, pornorgraphy, soiled panties, homosexuality, etc et al are AOK on ebay
and are more than allowed (possibly encouraged!). But, our national pride in the
Military and the fighting men and women thereof, encompassing all of the OD Green
collectibles, many of which bring thousands and thousands of dollars, will continue to
see that politically correct ebay ax!
It's too bad that leftists control this, the largest world wide trading venue for us
to continue our olive drab passions!
A Proper Texas upbringing precludes me to express what I'd like to say about
them..........ah screw it.........they can eat shit and bark at the moon!
I just wish one of the rarest Pez containers was in the shape of a Browning or
Sherman!
