Time To Send a Well-Deserved Message….

When my friends, Kit and Heidi from Euphoric Reality, told me about this, I was stunned.

From ER’s site:

One of our soldiers emailed a retailer in West Allis, Wisconsin, inquiring whether they could ship floor mats to an APO address. The NCO wanted to buy better gear for his troops to sleep on. You won’t believe the company’s response*. (Their email address is included below, if you’d like to let the company know what you think of their business.):

Do you ship to APO address? I’m in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first.

SGT Hess,
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.

I thought it had to be one of those hoaxes that we all get behind emotionally to either combat or support. However, this one is apparently no joke. And my response to them will also be “no joke.”

This has also been verified by Snopes. Not that they’re the be-all/end-all, but to me if it’s made it to Snopes, at least some verification has been done on the subject.

Folks, this is a call to arms, so to speak, on this matter. Boycott doesn’t even cut it. We need to make sure this business has NO business, no customers who want to buy from them anymore, and all the negative publicity they can get. Are you ready to get busy on this one? It’s already starting.

And our friend Texas Fred has done a little more digging. Although the site is currently down due to technical difficulties, here’s what Fred found out.

The company’s domain is registered to:

Faisal Khetani
PO Box 270693
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53227

    I can respect those that disagree about the war. I can respect those who are fighting ferociously to remove our guys and gals. I can not respect those who project our policy on to those who are fighting the war.

    How To Lose A Sale, And Piss Off America At The Same Time…

    I have no idea as to the ethnicity or political leanings of Mr. Khetani but I can tell when a sale will not be made. But this is typical of so many of the anti-war crowd from Jack Murtha on down. Say you support the troops, but when push comes to shove…

    Here's a suggested title for a book Discount-Mats could write:

    Sickos that post peoples email addresses and contact information on the net are big time losers. If your so hepped up about the war in Iraq, get your ass away from the computer and enlist, making sure you ask to be posted to Iraq after basic training.

    Hey, Tommy…. grow up already. The Discount-Mats emailer sent his contact info to the solder. By the way, brainless; Snopes also published it. He may own a private company, but when you send out an email like he did, the email he sends is property of the recipient; i.e., the soldier. If the soldier wanted to alert bloggers, that was his right.

    And since Faisal has a business, all we had to do was go to his website to find out additional contact information. Not that hard for a smart person, but I guess a brainiac like you couldn't figure that out.

    Similar thing happened to me – tried to buy a small video camera system while deployed in Kosovo – vendor refused to send APO and got nasty – reported me to eBay because I refused to pay – I haven't been back since.
