It makes me sad and want to cry. But I love it. It is pro-soldier but anti-war, and it has no anti-American propaganda (though I'm sure you'll get alot of people saying it's unAmerican and to stop whining about the war, ignore them.) I am loving this immensely and voting $5.

Awesome...way to show American pride and the spirit we desperately need. Rock on!

I like how this shirt is really politically ambiguous, and either the left or right could have totally different interpretations of its meaning.

Political statements never go over too well here.

Reminds me of the day after tomorrow by Tom Waits. Too big though, and the typography could be better(don't get me wrong i like it, just thinks it could use some more work :)

How about the tank running over a x-mas tree or better rudolph (all you see under the tank tread would be his flashing red-nose? AWESOME!

good message (not for me though...)

I'm sure it wasn't intended... but when I first looked at the picture I saw a target on the tank. Center - top portion of the design. For that reason alone I won't be buying it. It could be misinterrpreted that I, the wearer, wants the tanks blown up and the bodies sent home for Christmas.
some like it blue

typography is bad, even if people do like the message.

i'd like to see the typography hand written...like it was a letter home.... give it that personal touch. maybe "I'll be home for christmas XXOO"

Ultimately i think the 'over by christmas' comment would be linked to the famous British WWI statement that the war would be 'over by christmas' 1914. when in fact it went on for a good deal thereafter.

Anyhoo if it is meant in a patriotic way then I find it somewhat insulting that whichever country is currently being ravaged by the US will be finished with soon - which is what is implied to me. Especially since the US is supposed to be establishing a democracy atm rather then kicking generic 'foreign' ass and being back for Christmas.

jeezus, I thought it was just a tank with some words. I didn't realize it signified the fifth coming of christ.

I don't like the font, but I love the idea.

font is a bit big... i like the handwritten idea... and maybe place the font off to the bottom left of the shirt in hand writing... kinda as an afterthought... or some bitter twist...
either way.. someone said it was ambiguous... and i subscribe to that. i like that a lot actually..
only complaint is that the tank is a bit crude.. although maybe that's what you want.
i do like it. definitely a 4.
