Support Summerfest; say thank you for taking a stand

UPDATE: Summerfest "compromises."
Rabid radio talker Charlie Sykes devoted more than half of his morning show railing on Summerfest for asking the Army to shut down a virtual killing game, urging listeners to call those wimpy Summerfest folks and complain.
Actually, Summerfest needs to be thanked and congratulated for doing the right thing. It is never easy to publicly take a stand and reverse an earlier decision -- not to mention facing down the military.
Please take a minute to call Summerfest at 414-273--2680. They need some support.

Thanks for starting this. I only heard about it now, it's a pity that Summerfest caved, but at least something good came of it.

Thank the Army, too

Lost in this debate (and omitted from your post) is the Army's quick acquiescence when criticism of the innapropriate recruiting game surfaced. The Army should be thanked, too.
