At last, those who raised nearly $2,800 for the Wounded Warrior Project can reap their reward; photographic evidence of Col. Kurt Schlichter out and about sporting a Pinkie Pie hoodie.
Schlichter raised the hackles of “Bronies” — grown men who bond over the TV show “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” — with a column published last April. The hastily assembled Band of Pseudo Bronies saw the opportunity for an online fundraiser and quickly surpassed the original fundraising goal of $1,000 in exchange for a little pony love.
Okay I'm wearing the freaking #brony suit out in public. The things I do for wounded warriors. #Caring http://t.co/YUTfGSfD

Being obscure about my #Brony suit because the donators to #woundedwarriors get the photos first! #caring http://t.co/Mo0LF1b7

People are very positive about the #WoundedWarriors and conservatism. Seriously, a nice lady came up and told us she loved the 2nd Amd.
