The war is over for me. I'm coming home soon.

My fellow FREEPers,

I know it's been a while. Well i forgot to duck. By the time most of you see this I will be on my way to Germany for treatment. The war for me is done. My men continue to do the job. This last rash of bombings and attacks are being under reported and I don't know why. Al Queada is getting desparate. I don't know when I'm will RTS. But I do imagine that it will be soon. God I love wireless. LOL! Please keep praying for us.

Do you think he could have been a chat poster by another nick and switched nicks to post personally? So as not to confuse opinions with needs?

Hey, I love you guys and post a lot, but if I ever get injured, like fall off my motorcycle, you ain't gonna hear from me for a while.

I wouldn't even think of it....

About once a month I bust someone out claiming to be some kind of Special Ops type in a bar or somewhere..... There are even websites and organizations dedicated to busting them.

"Apparently, Captain Mike gave his e-mail password to LT Owen, as he was too injured to write... ...but he wanted to let his friends know what has happened to him"

RonDog, if this is the case, wouldn't you think LT Owen would have contacted you about some of us having doubts? And nothing for nothing, but if I were badly injured, the last thing I would think of would be to give my Freeper name and password to someone. Again, my prayers for Captain Mike if he has been injured.

You just got an e-mail from him at the e-mail address he's used previously?

Is that the same address he used while overseas?

The messages from Captain Mike in BOTH of these threads came from the same personal e-mail address:

And, that personal e-mail address was the SAME ONE that Captain Mike gave to me after the Oscar FReep.
He could be a FAKE, but more likely he is simply HUMAN...
...and justs prefers the positive personal attention that he gets from pro-USA FReepers...
...as opposed to the trash talk that he hears from the media, etc.
PERHAPS he has publicly posted and/or e-mailed more than someone in his postion SHOULD have, but I am a pretty good judge of character, and I still trust him to be the "real deal."

Perhaps.
When he recovers, I will send your e-mail address to him, and you can test his veracity -- personally, and report back to us.
Until then, I **CAN** verify that he is [at minimum] a FReeper in good standing, from MULTIPLE personal encounters -- LIVE, in person.
Which is more than I can say about YOU.

Until this thread, I have never heard from you, and I certainly have not been out there "in the streets" FReeping with YOU, as I have with Captain Mike.

No offense intended.

My cousin's son served in Iraq (2 tours), I can not imagine him logging onto FR to send this message.

My cousin is a MP Major. I used to get email from him when he was in Iraq. Don't know if he ever posted here but I can't see why he couldn't if he wanted to.

There are several guys that have posted here or post here now that are in Iraq.

Would like to hear from some of them now regarding this.

This is NOT a hoax, imho - although the recent thread by Socomofficer may have been posted by one of his men.

If one of his men posted it, why would they pretend to be Socomofficer? Why haven't they responded to anyone on this thread?

I haven't seen his screen name before tonight so I don't know anything about him. If he's legit and injured, I offer my prayers.

Hope he isn't a fake but if he is, he made a mistake posting on FR. You guys don't miss nuthin'.

Ignore your doctors and order a "cold one" while in Germany, you've earned it! :) Thank you for your service!

Yeah--in between all that SF training and 3 deployments to 'the front' *snicker* in Iraq....

Can he still be a Freeper in Good Standing for impersonating an SF officer online?

Which is more than I can say about YOU.

Hey, I'm just a pogue now in the National Guard--I may have posted my rank at some point, but not a name.

Until this thread, I have never heard from you, and I certainly have not been out there "in the streets" FReeping with YOU, as I have with Captain Mike.

SFW... It'll only heighten your sense of betrayal when you realize he conned you.

No offense intended

Riiiight.

RonDog, I have checked Socomofficer's profile page, a total of 2 posts, including this thread that was started today, by LT Owen (per your information). I posted the following on the thread from March 2005:

To: Socomofficer; Blurblogger; doug from upland

Thank You and God Bless you, Captain Pierce.

My family supports our Military and keeps you all in our prayers each day.

Just surprised that there have been no messages from Captain Mike between March and now.

God Bless Our Military
