You won't believe this email that was sent to me -- it was sent by a Middle Easterner living in Wisconsin, who owns an AMERICAN BUSINESS -- what an arrogant jerk!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a Wisconson-based Company......

Below is an email exchange between a friend of mine's husband and a company that sells different types of mats. He is stationed in Iraq and was inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on.

This is the companies response -- I am floored as a military wife and as an American!!!

Please post this so that this company will hear us loud and clear that we do not stand for this.

Whatever your view is on this war - these troops are just following orders.

Most are passionate about what they are doing. You can disagree with the war without disrespecting our troops!!!

We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq.
If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

Nothing like a 'double tap', to make you feel better.

Dear Sir,
Or what ever title you go by.

Thank you for proving that the UNITED STATES of AMERICA is indeed the greatest country in the world. After all, 24 million illegal immigrants can’t be wrong. But that is an assumption on my part.

I am sure you are receiving lots of mail, in regards to your recent reply to a soldier, whom was simply asking a shipping question. You may add this mail to the stack of GOD FEARING AMERICANS who wish you a safe trip back to what ever sand pile you crawled out of.

If you cannot support the values that this country represents, then hop you’re a$$ on a plane out of here. I’m sure we could scrounge up enough for a ticket, if necessary.

Yours truly.

I tend to think that it is utterly shameful for people and companies to not support our Servicemen and women UNCONDITIONALLY. They shouldn't be blamed for doing what they are told to (assuming they don't go beyond that). The President (and other politicians) put them harm's way to begin with. Criticise the Politicians and not the Servicemen and women! This company is going about voicing their opposition to the war in Iraq the wrong way and it is shameful what they are doing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Faisal Khetani;

In reference to my previous letter below, I just found out you are a bodybuilding guru and the owner of the sorry ass business below. Why am I surprised with your low-class attack on an American soldier in Iraq that your name was not Joe Smith or Dan Jones, but Faisal Khetani? Rub your little bottle of baby oil on your ripped and muscled, testicle-shrunken body, make lots of money with your mats, body magazine, articles you write, and fitness enterprises, Faisal, and understand that it has been through the blood and sacrifice of American fighting men and women that you can make such money and enjoy such freedoms. I don’t know if you are an American-born muslim, but I believe I read you were born and raised in the UAR.

I just want to give you my personal opinion as the father of 2 American soldiers and Vietnam veteran myself. I feel you are a sorry piece of **** and should be given a one-way ticket to any muslim country, where you can dare to run your mouth about their military and see if you don’t end up with a well-cut headless torso, but with great definition, man.

If you are not an American citizen and are in my country running your mouth about our military, know this Faisal, somebody will light your ass up. I am not making threats. I just know American human nature.

De Oppresso LIber,

Don Bendell

Letter one from Don
-------------------------------

Dear IQ-challenged management at discount-mats.com and Bargain Suppliers;

I checked with snopes.com and found out that you were actually arrogant and stupid enough to respond to a SGT Hess writing you from Iraq saying that you would never ship any mats to soldiers in Iraq, and if he were smart he would leave there and come home. I am BCCing this email to many and emails are already going around the web about your treasonous remarks. Yes, treasonous! You do not say things like that to an American fighting man or woman in harm’s way who is risking their life so you and others could have the right to be so damned ignorant. I have horses and would not even wipe their **** on one of your mats, as I do not want to denigrate what comes out of my horses’ asses. It has much more substance and class than what comes out of you.

Since your actual name and address is:

Bargain Suppliers
3259 S.106th Street
West Allis , WI 53227

I sincerely hope that some of my fellow Vietnam veterans and other vets in your area visit your location and express their views in person, or better yet, organize boycotts of your business. You are allowed to be against the war or even speak out against it, but you don’t disrespect our men and women when they are off fighting in a foreign land. Nobody is going to attack you physically, but you sure can get a message by having a lighter wallet because of boycotts. I hope others see that it happens. In fact, I also addressed this to Martin Kaiser senior editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Gerise LaSpisa, President of the West Allis COC, and I think the West Allis Star might also be interested to hear how you have put that part of the country on the map. Also, people need to hear about your refusal to apologize to our soldiers and veterans for your totally inappropriate remarks, and you not even answering inquiries from snopes.com. From my point of view, I guess you have shown us all a new San Francisco mindset and I will be defensive if anybody wants me to do business not only with your company but any business in your part of the USA .

I can say this, you nor your company deserves to reap any rewards
of "freedom of business" brought and paid for by many generations

Faisal huh ? You talk about American soldiers as if
they come from some alien nation. I do not know if you
are originally from America Faisal but if you are
naturalized I suggest you recall the oath you took for
citizenship.You best not have lied on that one. Now I
was born in the USA and actually attended the Infantry
Advanced Course with another Faisal: Prince Faisal
from Saudi Arabia. I am certain he does not share your
opinion of American soldiers and whether they need
mats to sleep on. But I am going to ask him. But,lets
cut to the chase here. You and your mouth have created
a problem for yourself and all like you. We welcome
you and you send a message like that to one of our
soldiers on the field of battle? The only reason that
young warrior is there is because a bunch of religious
lunatics,with names like yours and attitudes like
yours,flew airplanes full of innocents into buildings
full of innocents based on some heathen religious
bent. We keep being told that all Muslims do not think
like this bunch of barbarian murderers. But, your
attitude is not making that a very reasonable
argument. I represent a breed of American who have
been tested in the fires of combat and came out steel.
I strongly suggest you issue an apology to that
American Soldier and all like him,with the widest
distribution, or me and mine are going to be very
angry at you Faisal. Take my word for it. You do not
want that. Read anything you want into what I have
told you Faisal and remember that oath. Should you not
be a citizen and are only in America to make our money
and insult our soldiers:PACK YOUR THINGS AND PUT YOUR
BUSINESS IN ORDER BECAUSE YOU WILL BE LEAVING. Have a
good day now and do not forget to pray.

Pull out of Iraq? If his daddy were sensible, he would have pulled out of this guy's mother when he had the chance.:angel:

Honestly, is this a real email? I don't doubt people will do such a thing, and I've seen made-up emails, false reports, and rumors sent around (remember the Cindy Williams 'troops get paid too much' rumor?) If it is - and I'd like to see some proof - I'd be more than happy to send a letter to this business owner with the gall to disrespect a customer and a U.S. Army man. Judging by the company rep's name, he is either from another country, or, an American in name only but an America-hating foreigner making money in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Yes snopes finally confirms it is real quoting a local radio station:

http://www.620wtmj.com/_content/news/story_6685.asp

I'm not sure I buy this stuff about a Vice President "will deal with the employee". As I said in my earlier post the business address is the same as Faisal Khetani's home address. This sounds like a one "person" operation trying to backtrack now that he's gotten a lesson in American capitalism.

Here's the content of that news story link

"An Internet company based in West Allis is confirming that it sent an inflammatory email to a US soldier. The email has been making its rounds on the blogs. It was first reported on the website snopes.com.

Sergeant Jason Hess, who's currently stationed in Iraq, had emailed discount-mats.com. The company lists its contact information as an address in West Allis. Sergeant Hess inquired as to whether the company could send mats to an APO address, basically asking if the company can ship to soldiers in Iraq. The company emailed him back.

That email, which Sergeant Hess shared with Newsradio 620 WTMJ, said: "we do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq."

A military spokesman says it's not unusual that a company won't ship to an APO address.

A Vice President with Bargain Suppliers, the website's parent company, confirms the email was sent. He says the employee who sent it is being held accountable and will be dealt with.

In addition, the spokesperson says the address and phone number that are now being circulated around the world are someone's home in West Allis. He says they've been bombarded with phone calls and as you can imagine they're getting plenty of complaints."

I used to have a website that sold airline tickets. During the 2000 Presidential Election I put up a campaign logo. The parent company of the airline tickets made me remove it.

I truly believe we are the last line of defense from a force within our borders which is slowly eroding our way of life. Yep this guy made a mistake with his email, and with our email in retaliation we will be accused of Muslim bashing. You think he is the only one that may think like this. Hell no, look at your Senators, your Congressmen/women, your local convience store owned and operated by folks that send thier money to terroist who in turn are supporting those that kill our service members,and who laugh and cheer evertime a American is killed in Iraq or Afganistan, look at your Chevron gas station owned by a country that has vowed to overthrow us. I hate the fact that this guy can say this and he will get away with it, the ACLU will most likley defend him, his local Raghead union will come to his defense, all of his freedom of speech is because of us, the ones who fought for it, the ones who died for it. Somewhere we have got to draw the line and start standing up for those who are truly Americans.Just Remember once out here in the 1stCivDiv there is alot of Stupid people.
Semper Fi.

Fox News reported on it again this evening. Apparently the guy who owned Discount-mats.com operated the company out of his house, so most likely the one who generated the email was him and the "employee" that was fired was most likely made up, because he was probably the one who did it.

I'm wondering why don't our troops on the ground have what they need? Why is this Sgt having to order this stuff himself? Our boys should have everything they need without having to track it down themselves or beg. What the f*** is Congress doing about this, NOT A D*** THING, except partisan bickering with the President over increasing the number of troops in Iraq. I haven't heard a single Congressman/woman express outrage over this whole Discount-mats.com fiasco. :mad:
