WTF? I sure hope this site is some kind of JOKE!

Wow. Even though he claims to be serious, I have to doubt it based on the name of the site alone - unless he's trying to shoot down any credibility he has before he even starts.
If we didn't send him as a country, the web site's exactly right. However, we did send him. It's Congress's job to decide when the expense of the military is just, and I think they've got a bit more to say about how our tax money is allocated than a web site called www.forsakethetroops.info.
nice that the 'scumbags' he refers to have made it possible for him to actually have a website like that.
bastardages!
bastardages!
Someone do a lookup on the domain before I do. (Basically, do it for me because my connection is sh1tty.)
It's about time that someone stood up and took a stand against our greedy troops. Me and my 3 other brothers should probably be forced to pay back what we've already gained from the military. In fact, I'm going to talk to my brother right away about dropping out of college. Why should other people pay for his GI Bill benefits. Just think if that money was put towards the national debt.
While I'm thinking about it, while officer pay is nice, I think they should get rid of the whole class of 'Officers.' If they just made everyone enlisted just think of the money they'd save.
Bravo to FTT.

Man Wants Cash For Finding Soldier's Camera
Soldier Lost Camera At Eagles Game
POSTED: 8:46 am EST January 6, 2005

PHILADELPHIA -- A New Jersey soldier, who is being sent back to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty next week, lost his digital camera at last weekend's Eagles game.

Man Wants Cash For Camera
The memory card in the camera had many pictures of the holidays with Spc. Elwood Wrigley's friends and family that he said were very precious to him.
Wednesday night, someone e-mailed NBC 10 to say they found the camera and offered it back, but at a price.
A man identifying himself as Michael Crook said he'd return the holiday photos for $1,000.
Part of the e-mail read: "I would be willing to ensure Mr. Wrigley gets his camera back for a fee. I would say $1,000 would cover it considering his memory stick is so precious to him. It sure looks like this family had a good Christmas."
Crook e-mailed some of the pictures to NBC 10 to see if they were Wrigley's pictures.
NBC 10's Vince DiMentri showed the pictures to Wrigley, who said they are not his photos.
Wrigley was shocked that someone would do this.
"That's disgusting. I didn't think anybody on the planet was like that," said Wrigley.
Wrigley's aunt agrees with her nephew. "I can't believe someone would do that. It's horrible. It's just horrible."
During a phone interview with NBC 10, Crook offered no apologies.
"I don't really do things out of kindness. It's a business world and I know it seems harsh but, you know, it is all about the money" Crook said.
Crook said he is from south Jersey and was with friends at the Eagles-Bengals game when he found the camera.
NBC 10 is still not sure whether this is a hoax or if Crook really has Wrigley's camera.

that site is BULLSH1T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Number of US soldiers killed in the Iraq War, of their own doing, because they CHOSE to be leeches: 1,583. These scumbags deserved what they got." i don't freakin care serious or joking that is NOT funny. If they and others ike them didn't CHOOSE what they did this guy might not have the means to make such a stupid site.
I just seperated from the Air Force, does he not know how little we get paid!?!?!? if the military offered only base pay without food, housing, medical, etc etc VERY few people would join! You don't get paid hourly, and sorry but $1200 a month is NOT worth the sacrafices you have to make to be in the military if you are paying for everything yourself.
This guy needs to be shot. freakin morons.

On Monday evening, the webmaster of Forsake The Troops was brutally assaulted by two men, thought to be members of the military, in response to their opinions about this website. Mr. Crook had been the target of numerous death threats and trespassers at his residence. All of these threats were saved and have been turned over to the authorities.
UPDATE:
At 6:19pm Eastern time, Michael Crook died of his injuries, after being rushed by ambulance to the leading hospital in the area for head trauma. The two men who allegedly assaulted him are currently in the custody of police. Mr. Crook died with his wife and infant daughter present.
It is therefore the decision of his family, and associates that Forsake The Troops goes offline, to prevent further incidents of violence and threats against his family. Therefore, this domain will permanantly go offline at around 5pm Eastern time, on Tuesday, May 17th, 2005.
Comments, and well-wishes may be addressed to noc@smishosting.com. Media inquiries (no interviews with family at this time), or sincere inquiries from well-meaning people may be directed to (315) 558-4372.

He brought it on himself.
He COULD have stayed in bed this morning. or any number of things.
He at least OWNED UP TO HIS OWN ACTIONS.
Edit: Well, I guess maybe that was a little harsh, since the guy really DID die.
Still, HE did bring it on himself....
