Forsake the troops
05.09.05 (6:09 pm)   [edit]

A former 10th group buddy sent me the link to this site. Forsake the troops.info.  He was a bit peeved to say the least.  This was a few days ago.  I promised I’d comment but it’s been difficult to write anything about this site without getting a bit angry.  The site banner reads “This website is proudly dedicated to the notion that our nation's military is grossly overcompensated, at the expense of the American taxpayers. Even as the evil, overspending Pentagon seeks to raise benefits for these scumbags, Forsake The Troops believes that these pukes get pay and benefits tax free when in a combat zone.”


They also support the boycott of Metallica for its pro military stance.  This will irritate at least one of my long time readers.


In a way I like sites like this.  They aren’t trying to hide behind some “support the troops” BS while supporting initiatives that directly go against the troops.  Nope.  They straight up don’t support the troops and think they are simply over paid idiots.  They also expose what many actually think.  So young troop don’t think everyone loves you brother.  They don’t.  But then they tend to love dictators instead and well dictators aren’t really doing as well as they used to thanks to you troop.

Would be nice to know who these wonderful americans are who run that lovely site. Hard to believe isn't it? Easy to see where that could ruffle some feathers but truely they aren't worth wasting your time on.

I don't know how these people sleep...
I wear my purple bracelet (http://www.gi-bracelet.org/) everywhere (even when it doesn't match my outfit ::gasp::) The other day at the supermarket the cashier asked me what it said. I told her "For those who serve". She gives me this blank look. I managed not to roll my eyes and tried to remeber I do live in Orange County and said "For those who serve in the military." I sign the credit card slip and before I leave she goes "How much is it?" I said you can donate anywhere from $1 to $5 each. And she goes "Oh, you should buy the magnets they sell at Wal-Mart instead. They're way cheaper and you can get a better color than that purple." ggggrrrrr! Some are hateful on purpose, some are just idiots.

Don Bendell said we're supposed to ignore that site and the freak who runs it. The guy has mental problems and has a desperate need for attention. One of the guys first sent in the link & info for the SOG Pub and a number of the guys went ballistic, which is when Bendell explained why its important to ignore him. Just posting his link sends traffic his way.

Interesting about Metallica, glad to hear they're pro-military. I didn't know that but was hoping it was so because you know my policy.

The dude set up the site knowing it would get a ton of attention. He makes money selling the ads on the site. He's a douchebag doing it for attention and some $.
