​ ​​​​Forsake The Troops started off as Citizens Against the Troops, an organization founded in the Summer of 2004. We currently have fifteen members in our organization, spanning all across this country. Our founder, and leader's name is Scott Vogel, who currently resides in Southern New Jersey. Other members have their bios available as well. To view those, click here.
Our position is that as it stands currently, the compensation, benefit, and retirement packages that our active duty and retired military personnel get is outrageous, and 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 "Yuk Yuk" Bush. They 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.
Our intention is not to inspire, suggest, or joke about violence towards the military; rather, our goal is to eventually approach Congress about completely revamping the military pay structure. Despite common opinion, we are not a hate group, that we do not condone acts of violence, or any illegal acts towards military facilities or personnel.
HOOAH!
Taken off their website:
Forsake The Troops is no longer a customer of SMIS Hosting. Their website is no longer hosted by our company. We intitally gave them the courtesy of more than 24 hours' notice to terminate their account, but due to their threats and vile behavior, which violated our TOS, they were removed as of 5pm on Thursday, February 24th, despite a grass-roots campaign to attempt to flood our e-mail boxes and telephone lines with cries of "Save our Ship!"
We don't normally air business matters with clients in the public, as we believe in respecting clients' privacy, however, Forsake The Troops, led by Scott Vogel and Laurie Vogel, chose to bring their business out in the public by way of threats and obscenities towards us. We find it tasteless that they felt that the fact the owner of SMIS has a biracial child is something to be used against him.
We apologize to the many people who were offended, and thank those who wrote in to complain, giving us the documentation to show that the Internet community did not appreciate their presence.
Furthermore, Forsake The Troops has chosen to refuse to honor an outstanding bill for some services. The money isn't of concern to us, though it costs money to run the servers, we have many customers who are good, decent people and pay their bills on time.
However, due to their outstanding balance, we have seized their domain name, which they purchased through us as a third-party domain reseller.
Therefore, we would like to offer the domain name to anyone who feels that any good can be served by it, though the name is vile and disgusting. Though they owe us money, we feel that it would be a good cause to donate the domain name to a Veterans' group, or some similar organization that can make some good come out of the name.
If you are with an organization that could benefit from this domain, please e-mail us through the link below.
An added bonus, besides the domain being used for good, is that nothing would anger the Vogels more than to see this domain pointed to a veteran's group or pro-military site. We would like to see this domain used for good.
We welcome your comments and inquiries about this client and the domain name at service@smishosting.com. You may also contact us through our website at www.smishosting.com.
Below are some links that we feel are appropriate at this time:
US Army
Military.Com
Life is good!
Amazing.
Now they actually come right out and say it.
Tellya what, folks: I will *PAY* for you to register as American National Alliance of Traitors Hating Modern America.
A.N.A.T.H.M.A., for short.
"Scott Vogel and Laurie Vogel, chose to bring their business out in the public by way of threats and obscenities towards us."
Military.com will probably feel pretty silly when they find out that the Vogels do not exist.
"We find it tasteless that they felt that the fact the owner of SMIS has a biracial child is something to be used against him."
Yeah, well, the asshat behind it is a white supremecist, so I do not think Military.com will be alone in finding him tasteless. I know I do.
