News "Forsake the Troops"

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS
I saw this guy on the news. this upsets me because i am in the military. i just think he went too far with the things he was saying. did any one else see it? i can't find his web site anymore.

Then, military families are fuming over our next guest's website. Forsake the Troops (search) creator Michael Crook claims members of the military make too much money. He even labels those who serve "leeches" and "scumbags." Is he taking free speech too far? Tonight, Crook comes clean.

Found the video here http://members.aol.com/viperspages/...ethetroops.html

Maybe Crook needs to serve a little time in the desert or jungle himself.

Let him realize that our forces men and women are not overpaid yet they are extremely underpaid. What a crock this guy is.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

All I got to do was read the text and see two small pics.

This guy kinda look like a Michael Jackson twin.

Worry not, greedy money grupping people already have so much hate within themselves, that they end up dying alone and usually painfully. It is sad someone like this was able to get onto mainstream media.

That is usually how it goes though. It's always the nutjobs with the far out ideas (i.e. Moore, Coulter, etc..) that catch people's attention. As someone who hasn't personally served but knows three people that have been wounded in Iraq (not to mention others that have served successfully there), I think they should ship his ass over and see if he changes his tune. I can't even begin to imagine some of the shit I've heard from buddies of mine coming back from there.

In short, fuck that guy.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

I was in a good mood until I watched that shit. Now I am pissed off. Who the fuck does that asshat think he is? I served in the Army and got out just before getting deployed to Afganistan. I've got friends I served with that went to Iraq and Afganistan and didn't come back. This guy just got himself ranked below drug dealers and sex offenders.

If anyone lives in or around Syracuse, see if this address is correct. I feel the need to take a baseball bat and a power drill and pay this worthless motherfucker a visit.

Too right Zep. I might be a Brit but I can't believe this shit getting airtime anywhere.

Agree about Moore and Coulter too. Extremism is what we're fighting against isn't it? And the guys doing the actual fighting aren't getting rich.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

I would have to say the guy who said foresake the troops has a lot of balls. Why dont we see him on the battlefields and defending our freedom to keep our country great. Anyone who says that about our military should be shot on site.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

Thanks for your service. Military personnel do not get paid enough. You got whiney ass baseball players striking because they cannot raise a family on multi-million dollar salary...
please. Sounds like a personal problem to me. Look at our society. We pay the scourge and smut spreaders plenty of dough. Teachers, Police, and emergency employees get the shaft. Think of that next time you plop down $20 for slim shitty's next sonic disaster.

He looks like the guy from "Welcome Back, Kotter" that got his ass kicked in a celebrity boxing match.

Why is H & C even giving him the time of day? Shouldn't this guy be on Opie and Andy, or Howard Stern? Hell.....put him on Montell.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

Total dumbass, although to respond to your question, no, he isn't taking free speech too far. I don't believe that's possible unless of course you're creating a clear and present danger. The guy is certainly a moron, but I would be equally as mad if someone tried to curtail his right to say it. I wouldn't mind of news channels decided not to give him airtime though. He's probably taking such an extreme stance just to generate buzz.

Re: News "Forsake the Troops"

Yeah, there are limits to free speech like nflcclucky13 stated...clear and present danger has to be involved. There are extremists in every facet of society. There are environmental extremists, religious extremists, etc. It takes extremists on both sides to create a middle ground. We, as a democratic society, need extremists to keep everything in check.

Saying that, the guy does deserve a beatdown from someone...preferably a SEAL, Green Beret, or 1st Airborne...I'd pay $5 to watch it too.

guys like you make me laugh.

the fact he has the site , and the facts news were able to get it on air is a proof of your freedom.

if you star banning those sites or shooting people who talk against the military you start destryoing the freedom youre supposed to be figthing for.

Back on topic, people. This forum is supposed to be for properly thought out ideas and opinions. Cursing and such is allowed, but general comments and side notes aren't.
