I did get a quick response to my letter from them. Here it is:
"Thank you for your interest in Oriental Trading Company.
In response to your recent correspondence question: [I had not asked a question. I told them that I was outraged!] Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts on the Army Vehicle Piñata. We in no way intended to offend or make light of the seriousness of the military or its endeavors. We sincerely apologize. As a result of customer feedback on this item, it has been pulled fromstock and will no longer be available. Again, thank you for your concern and interest in this matter."
Well, I didn't buy anything form them in the past, and shall not do so in the future either!

that's good news, of course. But the next thing I shall do is write a letter to that f****** outfit and tell them that I shall never buy any f****** thing from them for having an item like that for sale in the first place!

This is outrageous! Who is selling this?
Not only would I leave any party where this would appear, I will certainly no longer buy anything from any store that sells this...

I find it tasteless. Any idea where this little party item is manufactured? I'm in cahoots with some "undesirables" who would be more than willing to hunt the people down and use their sorry butts as pinatas!

The more I think about this the madder I get
If you happen to know who is distributing this would you kindly send me the info...I think they need to hear from about 200 soldiers.

Tacky is putting it mildly. I can't imagine anyone I know wanting one at their party.

I haven't seen this. If I was anywhere where they had such a object then with a few well chosen words ( only because of the kids) the children and I would be leaving and never return. It saddens me to know they exist!

It's probably best if I just leave this alone

Pinatas are dangerous.
I'm saddened to hear the death toll --- War sucks! And it never solves anything or does any good.
