'Day without a veteran' protest cripples t-shirt, social media rant industries

Filed · 1535

THE INTERNET — Just one day after the controversial ‘Day without a Veteran’ protests, military-themed t-shirt companies have reported a stunning drop in productivity and profits, sources confirmed.

The social media rants that litter the Facebook newsfeeds of veterans and their friends and families and anyone nearby also saw similar dips.

The veteran’s rights protest, engineered immediately after the ‘Day without an immigrant’ protest began to draw attention away from veterans on Facebook, aimed to "remind Americans who fought for the right of immigrants to immigrate: the American veteran!" according to Mark Nevin, one of the organizers.
