The Lieutenant Don’t Know T-Shirts

October 28th, 2013

How can you not appreciate a pitch like this?

BLUF: Everyone needs a t-shirt that says “The Lieutenant Don’t Know”. Because he doesn’t/didn’t/don’t. I’m looking for help funding the 2014 launch of my book “The Lieutenant Don’t Know” which tells the story of one Marine unit in Afghanistan in 2010. T-shirt sales will help fund the marketing and launch of the book!

If you still need a reason to purchase one, consider this:

Oh, and remember kids, MCO P1020.34G states that you can’t wear this bad boy in uniform. Best keep this one for off-duty hours and black ops…

American Apparel Jersey T-shirt Sizes: S – 3XL in OD.
