What made you pick freedomfries as a name?

 

[TG1]

Sounds better than potato?

 

[John]

Well seeing as you put it like that, then yes.

Maybe he’s French, and opposed the invasion of Iraq.

I’m an army veteran. One day for a week or so, they tried to make everyone refer to French fries as freedom fries in the DFAC. I was a young E-3 and got into it with a E-4 over not wanting to say freedom fries. I got a counseling statement and they called me freedom fries for a long time after.

I found it stupid as well. I ordered French fries and called them Fronce fries just to annoy everyone. Silly shit people do. Didn’t care if France was there or not. Just wanted to take care of my Marines.
