Back to Marketing School…
The AP newswire just put out this unbelievable story about the Pentagon offering to add “Operation Iraqi Freedom” or “Operation Eduring Freedom” to fallen soldiers’ gravestones.
Critics who sense a political motivation to this feel it is in poor taste. But seriously: is including the name of a military operation on a headstone considered good PR? Is this what they teach in marketing school? What’s the pitch? “Join Operation Iraqi Freedom and YOU TOO can get the schnazzy slogan on your grave?”
If I didn’t feel like crying, I’d laugh.
