Boycott military fashion! high street making a killing out of military look

The craze for all things camouflage and khaki - whether it's combats, t-shirts or mini skirts - rages on despite the barbarrism it represents in today's political climate.
Not only that, but the big fashion chains like Arcadia (Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins etc) and GAP are making a 'killing' out of a trend that conveys a pro-war message.

Isn't it time people woke up to this scandal and stopped falling for this over-hyped and out of date high street craze??

let's get serious. there are more important things to focus on than combat gear fashion.

besides the fact that so many protestors wear such stuff because it's cheap! if you are so against war styles in fashion, perhaps u agree with mtv banning war videos. after all, showing videos with war images could be seen as profiting off & encouraging a war mentality.

& why not boycott video games & toy pistols, soldiers, war books and films.....
