Military spam? Patriotic spam? It just made me think of the song from Grease 2, “Do It For Our Country.” It also made me think of the rumors floating around about how military instruction manuals had to be written at a very low school grade reading level. It’s amazing how much more successful spammers could be if they just ran their scam messages through a spelling & grammar check first! 🙄
