The Truth About Michael Crook
THIS POST WAS ALTERED ON OCTOBER 2, 2006. THE EXPLANATION OF WHY IS BELOW:
The truth comes out at last, as it always does. Guess what?
Premier troop hater Michael Crook tried and tried to get into the army, and the army didn't want him. Yep, he washed out of boot camp on a medical discharge. Either that, or he had a little legal problem that disqualified him from service. Depends on which of his stories you decide to believe.
So, now the pathetic little putz has a grudge against the military, do you suppose he was feeling a little inadequate?
Appears so, and, it appears that Mike's demented way of dealing with his inadequacies is his pathetic and disgusting attack on our brave soldiers who are out there defending America, doing what he is unable to do.
Like many others, when I first saw that website, I wanted to explode but now that I know who and what Michael Crook is, I really don't give a crap about it. In my opinon, he's a pathetic little shit.
In 1999 under the name Silent Mike, Michael Crook wrote two essays about the United States Military and posted them on his website. There were discrepancies in the two stories, contradictions about why the army ultimately rejected his commission, in one essay Mike claims medical problems and in the other... some sort of legal problem. The truth about his discharge may never be known.
I originally quoted directly from Michael Crook's essays that were hosted directly on Michael Crook's website, but in October of 2006, my host received a demand from Michael Crook to remove the quotes as they violated his copyright. Michael Crook specifically addressed the quotes that I attributed to him in my post.
Michael Crook did not say what I posted here were not his words. He specifically admitted that they were his words posted on his website and he demanded that they be removed from my website.
Michael Crook obviously does not want the world to know that what he wrote in 1999 as it completely contradicts the things he says today and he is scouring the web to remove any and all references to those essays.
So, I can't quote him and I had to change this post to remove the direct quotes from Michael Crook's essays. But, I can tell you what the essays said, having read them myself.
In those essays, Michael Crook talked about how countless men and women have served given valuable service in all branches of the U.S. Military. He talked about what a privilege he thought it was to salute the flag and he talked about feeling pride and respect when he saluted a military officer. Michael Crook wrote about how he felt sad because he didn't get to finish his training and that he felt jealous of those who did. In those essays, Michael Crook claimed that he stopped those who were serving when he saw them to remind them of what a privilege it is to serve this country. In his essays, he urged the reader to look beyond the day off from work that we get on Veterans Day and Memorial Day and to remember those who have served.
It is my opinion that Michael Crook is a disgusting and pathetic little hypocrite. I base my opini9on on the fact that Michael Crook once attempted to join those who serve with honor in our Military and he was rejected, and, once being rejected, he went on to claim that he despised the military, he went on to denigrate the service that he once claimed to admire. And, I base that opinion on the lengths Michael Crook has gone to cover his tracks and hide the truth about what he wrote in 1999.
On his pathetic little website, Mike brags about how he is known for various accomplishments nationwide, and brags that he is hated all across this great country of ours. Got news for you Mike, no one is wasting any time hating you, in fact, most of us are laughing at you. Try as you might to cover up the truth, still, you will be forever known as the little wanna be soldier who couldn't make it in the army and who then tried to piss in the pool, and, you will be mocked and laughed at all across this great country of ours.
You can't hide from the truth. You can't hide what you write. You can't hide what you are.
And readers, you could do a googe for the "truth about Michael Crook." You never know what you might find.

Thank you, I agree that this sad excuse for an American is a failure, a wanna be. My husband proudly served our great country for over twenty years and I couldn't be prouder of him!

It's a shame this guy couldn't have learned from others mistakes. Almost 40 years ago Jane Fonda thought she'd express her voice too. She has spent nearly the past 40 years trying to live it down, ultimately with little success. Micheal, I'd say you've created a legacy you will never be able to recover from either... Congratulations on ruining your life. Hope it was worth it.

Awesome. When I was going through AIT, I was Platoon Guide. We had this shitty little effeminate freak that was addicted to anime. He'd shirk all PT and details. As corrective action, we'd take his anime collection...he'd cry like an autistic 4 year old. (no offense to autistic kids). One day I pushed him too far towards 'standard', he snapped and ended up in the psych ward for a week. Army, for some reason refused to flush this guy. So this Crook shitbag must be a real freakin' winner.

yeah you think this guy is a problem now, let me take you back to 3 years ago on a little known internet radio network that had a caller that bragged about rapeing and underage girl because it is every mans right to have sex with any woman he wants. "Just cause I am married doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to get some younger ***** on the side!" He is a truely disturbed man!

I think he is thriving on all the attention his pathetic website received. I stopped reading when he said that military members make too much money... he's delusional, too!

When we first found out about this site here in my office, we all had the intuition that this guy was probably just a military reject and is pissed off and jealous now because he can't be a part of our great "club". I loved seeing him on Hannity and colmes too, we all huddled around my computer and laughed our asses off at that wacko jacko wanna be. It's funny how the only real defense he has for his "cause" is the allowances and base pay...well please...if you know anything about the military we do not get paid all that much, sure dfas will make it seem like we do, also he doesn't like the fact that we get tax free income when in combat zones and some areas overseas...well guess what too bad thats the privilege we get for going over there, and little did he know that contractors and civilians working in the same areas get the same damn privilege...I hadn't even talked or thought about this puke until hannity and colmes came up then i found this place and his "essay" sad story, well i tried to expose him on his weblog but how funny it wouldn't let me

Hey, this is some good info. I was writing about this guy and didn't know any of this stuff. Thanks for this! I'll add some of this info to my latest column.

I was told his website disappeared - http://www.forsakethetroops.info. Unfortunately it has reappeared under http://www.forsakethetroops.net.
Can't someone get this one closed down as well?

Hey, thanks for the info about that dirtbag. I figured he was a reject from the Army. Knew thats what it had to be. It seems as though he's jealous and bitter. It cracked me up watching him on Hannity and Colmes. What a loser! Hannity and Colmes pretty much summed it up! He's a loser, waste of oxygen and a waste of time. LOL He needs to go, and his site needs to go. As a Soldier, I find him to be a pathetic disgrace and I hope someone does beat his tail if and when they get the chance. Perhaps then he'll wake up, but I find myself doubting that as well. He doesn't have many brain cells to begin with, that would only make him worse lol.
