For those that have e-mailed or IM'd me regarding the card sent to Joshua Sparling, yes I did it. I do not regret a minute of it.
I even included a jab at my detractors, by signing it "Miguel".
Oh, and for the veteran scum at various, randomly chosen VFW halls across the country-- including Fountain Hills, AZ; Dayton, OH; Syracuse, NY; Mays Landing, NJ; Houston TX, and more.... you're welcome for your "special" cards and faxes.
And, yes, I was the "heartless SOB" that sent four cards to the Veterans Hospital on Irving Avenue in Syracuse.
No, I don't regret it, and yes I'll do it again in a heartbeat.

Someone needs to throw a net over him!
he lives with his pet and daughter - no kidding!
They get offended if we call them unpatriotic but the devils spawn is the devils spawn. He is downright joyous in his hatred
Call me if you need a ride to "talk" to him.
Seriously.
Bless her heart - what a wonderful little girl.
Apparently "Miguel" has come forward.
Why is this article linked to Michelle Malkin's page? I don't find this there.

Here's a picture of his only true confidant.
what Mike had to say about his own service in the Army in 1999:
I Would be proud to serve if the Army would let me
(Published in the Press of Atlantic City (NJ) on Friday, June 11, 1999)
Be all you can be. Full speed ahead. The few, the proud. Weve all heard the catch phrases different branches of the military use to recruit trainees. If youre like most people, you probably keep flipping through the channels.
For me, the Army was the one and only choice for military service. When I saw the commercial over two years ago, I didnt even think about money, bonuses or assistance with college tuition. I picked up the phone and gave them my information. Within two days, I got a call from a recruiter at the Northfield recruiting station, and from that point on, my life changed.
First of all, it wasnt easy for me to enlist in the Army. I was underweight, and I had some legal issues that needed to be resolved. But in April of this year, I finally shipped out to Fort Benning, Ga.
That was a bittersweet day for me. I was finally in the Army, after two years of paperwork and trying to get my weight up to standards. At the same time, however, I was leaving my girlfriend behind. I was very homesick for the first week, but quickly learned to deal with it and keep my feelings in check when I found I wasnt the only man experiencing those feelings.
To my dismay, after a mere two weeks at Fort Benning, despite the fact that I passed every test required to ship to a basic training unit, I was told I was medically unfit for training. On May 7, a month after I left, I walked back into the Philadelphia airport and happily into the waiting arms of my girlfriend, but on my way to being out of the Army.
That started a three week wait for the medical board to officially discharge me. In the meantime, I was assigned to be an orderly in the company office, doing mundane office chores for the sergeants. On the surface, three weeks is a short time, but the work shift was from 0500 until 2100 every day, with only brief meal breaks, seven days a week. Granted, I was allowed to attend church services for two hours on Sundays. While serving as an orderly, I saw many men come through and try to escape the base. They were always caught and made an example of by the Military Police. That always baffled me. Here I was trying to stay in the Army, and then several men who had the chance to finish their training tried to escape. It never made sense to me, and angered me. They had the opportunities that I no longer had.
Finally, on a sunny Thursday afternoon, the company commander stomped up the steps with several yellow envelopes discharge papers for myself and several other wash-outs. She ordered me to sign my papers, and told me not to bother with the option I could have checked to request an appeal. You wont get it. To this day, I regret not listening to my instinct and trying for an appeal. The worst that would have happened was that I would have served as an orderly for another month. On top of all that, I was still paid my normal salary.
Or a FReeper.
Now simmer down there Tex! L0L
I remember him. Fun trivia - I looked up his address via whois on his old websites. His new ones are sanitized, but his old ones weren't. Don't remember the house number, but I do remember the street ;)
This is the same Michael Crook who once claimed to find a soldier's digital camera at a football game and told the media that he would return it for a 'finder's fee' of $1000.
Looks like this twerp feels like his manhood has been insulted. So instead of (gasp) acting like an adult, he's lashing out like the child he is. Pathetic.
From Michael Crook's personal site :
"Mr. Crook was one of the first employees to work with Internet System Technologies, joining the upstart Internet Service Provider while still in high school. IST was the first company to offer commercial Internet access to Southern New Jersey. IST was one of the first companies to connect area schools and businesses to the Internet, and he was associated with the company until 1999, enjoying a five-year relationship with the now-defunct company."
From SMIS Hostings "about us" page :
"SMIS has been in business since March 2004, and the owner has been involved with web hosting, web design, and Internet connectivity since 1994, when he joined the first company to offer commercial Internet access in Southern New Jersey."
SMIS Hosting = Michael Crook
Let the misguided little snot whine and pitch a fit.
Hes doing us a big favor by being the face of the opposition
Another Dan Rather, who spent a short time at Basic, and was dismissed by the Corps
nore wolf tickets from cakers
I quit watching Hannity & Colmes because of Kool-Aid drinkers like this.
Anybody who hasn't seen the video on the page you link to (see post 17 above) needs to watch this POS in action. My blood is boiling, not just because my husband is a soldier and I take it personally, but because I'm an American. Grrrrrrr!

May you choke to death on your own feces you Communist/Liberal bastard.
