Michael Crook’s latest antics

Over a year ago, I posted an entry about an idiot by the name of Michael Crook. Since he seems to have allowed his domain to lapse, I’ll give a quick recap of his idiocy (to the best of my recollection).

Michael Crook is a former Soldier-wannabe. Several years ago, he attempted to enlist but was turned away because he was medically unfit for service (a heart condition). He returned to the MEPS sometime later, and due to an unusual sequence of events, was able to slip through the cracks that time without disclosing his condition. This failure on his part to own up and say, “Hey, I was medically disqualified last time because of my heart,” demonstrated a serious lack of integrity on his part. The condition was caught while he was in basic training, and he was moved to another unit while medical separation proceedings were underway.

After he was separated, he went on an online rampage against the military and began advocating all sorts of ridiculous things. Some of these things included statements that Service Members didn’t deserve a good salary, that BAH should be eliminated, that everything should be paid out of the base pay rather than additional allowances, and that no respect should be given to Service Members.  He did this from a domain called www.citizensagainstthetroops.org (not linked since the website is now defunct).

Now, he has been forced to accept a settlement agreement with 10 Zen Monkeys and the Electronic Freedom Foundation. I’ll let the two links speak for themselves, but it sure is nice to see karma coming back to bite him in the rear end.
