This lowlife is the total epitomy of scum. I hate to even give him any publicity but if this punk doesn’t get your blood boiling, nothing will!
How about this as his website intro?
This website is proudly dedicated to the notion that our nation’s military is grossly overcompensated, at the expense of the American taxpayers– these scumbags get pay and benefits tax free when in a combat zone. Granted, they’re not on US soil when being paid for “services” rendered, but they are still US citizens, and still must pay taxes, just like the rest of us.
Our problem is this: the military is a lifestyle these morons chose. What idiot risks their life for a country? It’s what they chose. Forsake our Troops! They must think that if they go to war, they don’t need to pay taxes just……just like the rest of us. Let ’em die in combat– we don’t need their ilk!
This puke’s site is called ‘Forsake The Troops’. Here is a little info this idiot has posted on his website.
Forsake The Troops started off as Citizens Against the Troops, an organization founded in the Summer of 2004, by a Syracuse, New York resident, by the name of Michael Crook.
“Forsake The Troops” believes that as it stands currently, the compensation, benefit, and retirement packages that our active duty and retired military personnel get is outrageous, obscene, unearned, and above all…..undeserved. The American taxpayer is supporting the military enlistee, when said person made the decision to become a walking, talking target for Uncle Sam, and the idiot savant that calls himself the President.
These scumbags, who probably could not hack it in the civilian work force, made the choice to leech off of the American taxpayer, therefore we must do our part as taxpayers to recoup our funds, or at the very least stop this obscene abuse of our taxes, even if that means rounding up a group of concerned citizens to approach Congress to suggest the abolishment of our military.
Our goal is to eventually approach Congress about completely revamping the military pay structure and eliminating retirement benefits for the “retired” military scum…that is..personnel. That’s right…Forsake The Troops is calling for an end to all forms of benefits for veterans. Shut down the VA hospitals, and make these scumbags pay their own way. It’s just that simple.
Forsake The Troops proposes that by eliminating veterans’ benefits, combined with a complete overhaul of the miliatary pay/allowance/benefit structure, we will, as a nation, stand to save billions of dollars on our taxes, which will mean more money in each of our pockets, after having it taken out against our will by these military pukes.
Here’s a suggestion for modifying the pay structure: lower salaries across the board in all branches, and all ranks from E-1 to the highest ranking officer. An example would be a starting salary of $600.00 per month for an E-1 with less than 2 years’ of service. This is reasonable, when one considers the fact that the military provides base housing, food in the mess hall, and other necessary things for life. Also, it would be wise to eliminate most, if not all, of the extra “allowances”, such as dependant allowances, food allowance, housing allowances (BAH), special duty pay (you signed up to be in the military, do the job without extra reward), and combat pay. By doing this, we will save a lot of money on taxes.
In addition to all of the above suggestions, Forsake The Troops also calls upon all American businesses to eliminate military discounts– the troops are already coddled enough as it is. Must our economy suffer even more? This means car insurance companies, eating establishments, hotels, etc. should immediately cease to offer any form of “military discounts”. Make these scumbags pay their way just like everyone else. After all, they chose this lifestyle, they should own their choices.
These idiots made the decision to join, so it is angering to learn that we, as American taxpayers, must foot the bill for military funerals. In all fairness, under certain circumstances the life insurance policies soldiers can pay for may cover the costs of their demise, but acts of war aren’t covered, so who pays to bury them? We do! As if that’s not enough to make one’s head spin in anger, we, as taxpayers, must pay “survivor” benefits to widows/widowers/children. This must stop, and it must stop now. It’s not our fault that some idiot soldier got blown to bits because he was stupid enough to join a violent group.
Despite common opinion, we are not a hate group to the degree that we do not (officially) condone acts of violence, or any illegal acts towards military facilities or personnel.
His name is Michael Crook (aptly named) and is from New York. He has a personal site located here. Crook goes on to share a little info about himself.
As you may have guessed, I am Michael Crook. I currently reside within a suburb of Syracuse, New York. I previously lived in the Southern New Jersey area, living and attending school in suburban Mays Landing, which is about 20 minutes away from Atlantic City.
My educational and work experience includes television and radio production, as well as Retail Management and Internet related duties (I was there practically from the beginning, as an intern in high school, when commercial Internet access was made available in Southern New Jersey…I’m not pulling an Al Gore here; I didn’t invent anything, I was just there as an intern and later an employee), not to mention Customer Service positions. I’ve also worked with temporary employment agencies, which gave me an inside look at various industries, including banking, and mortgage processing. Additionally, I am a freelance journalist and author. I have had my work published on various websites and in several publications.
While attending high school in Southern New Jersey, I was hired as an intern, and later as an employee, at a company that was a major influence (at the time) in the availability of commercial Internet access in South Jersey, in that it was the first company to offer commercial Internet access to the area, and was one of the first companies to connect area schools and businesses to the Internet. I was responsible for a variety of things, such as technical support/customer service, monitoring the modem bank (this was before the days of DSL and cable modems), as well as some web design duties.
It was a definite learning experience, working with some very talented and experienced technical experts, and I have many good memories of that job. One such memory is the snowstorm of 1995, when I was stuck in the building for four days, since there was a state of emergency declared at the time. It was a blast having an 8 story office building all to myself, but not at all fun climbing over the huge snowbank in the middle of Pacific Avenue, just to get to the 7-11 for some food. But…good times..good times. I ended up working with the company in various capacities for six years. The company has since shut down, after relocating to Florida.
Meanwhile, I live in Central New York, and have an infant daughter, as well as a tabby cat. I spend my time working on my various websites.

This guy is so full of hatred, self loathing and seems to exist for his own self promotion at the expense of our military members and families.
This sniveling little turdball deserves all kinds of abuse for the filth he spews, I can’t even begin to communicate how bad this guy pisses me off. This is the ultimate test of the 1st Amendment, degrading the very brave soldiers that ensure this nutcase can spread his hatred.

Tell em what you think.
Would it surpirse you to know that this punk is also a White Supremacist as well? Go read this article.
He goes by several other aliases and has been a known web hoster for racist groups and somewhat of a hacker by what I have read in several articles including this one.
If enough of us express our revulsion at their hosting of this trash, we may possibly get them to take it down. So if you feel like writing about it, write to them. Just remember to be civil when making your point. Businessmen tend to dismiss rude people.

This idiot is obviously a depressed, lonely, and immature person. He is what I have come to know as an attention whore. I will not visit his pitiful little site. He will come to realize with time that he is sooo wrong. Perhaps the draft will be reinstated and he can exercise his 1 st Amendment rights from a combat zone.
Everyone has a right to their opinion. No matter how stupid it is.
By the looks of it he is mad he couldnt make it in the military. In one of the comment sections someone posted he washed up in basic and posted links but those links dont work anymore.
Patriot and Sharpknife will appreciate this –
My Dad used to tell me:
"Never interrupt a fool while they make a fool of themselves."
Regardless, just as this asshole is allowed to speak his mind, so am I. The hosts for his site will be hearing from me, I will be polite. I will share it with you all after I send it. I will put something together this weekend.

I would say his site is certainly morally objectionable to say the least, vulgar for sure, incites hate against our troops in a time of war. Here are a few tidbits from the site:
"Our problem is this: the military is a lifestyle these morons chose. What idiot risks their life for a country? It’s what they chose. Forsake our Troops! They must think that if they go to war, they don’t need to pay taxes just like the rest of us. Let ’em die in combat– we don’t need their ilk!"
On a page called ‘Our Troops Entertain Us…"
"Here’s some entertainment: an injured American solider being prepared to be carried away like a total punk! So much for being tough! Well, if you’re stupid enough to sign up for the military, you deserve the consequences. The only sad thing here is that we, the innocent American taxpayers, must now foot the bill for this (miserable excuse for a) man’s poor choices and stupidity!"
Along with pictures of dead and injured U.S. soldiers.
In addition he has a weblog at http://forsakethetroops.info/theweblog/ that has commentary such as:
7 scumbags become worm food
This story did our hearts good here at FTT HQ. Over the weekend, seven US soldiers died in the "war" in Iraq.
and goes on and on… http://forsakethetroops.info/wounded.html
Apparently other hosting operations do not care for this type of site either as he has been host hopping almost every month.
