It appears to me that this guy is seriously wounded and one of the things on his mind was the support he was getting from FreeRepublic. I think this is a hoax at all, he needs the support.

If you read my post, you'll see that I was both humorous and respectful.

When in doubt, being nice works!

Bingo.

I kind of dragged Captain Mike into this crazy forum...

...and he has had not had much free time to learn about the "proper" way to post here.

But, he e-mailed me (a few weeks ago) that he had been sharing the FR threads about him with his men...

...and that THEY really liked reading so many positive things here -- particularly about our support for their mission.
