Profiles in Shame: Michael Crook

For one of the most nauseating videos you will ever see, the aptly-named Michael Crook visits the Atlantic County Veteran's Cemetery to (quite literally) spit on the graves of veterans buried there, whom he alternately calls "leeches" and "scumbags", both there and on his web site. He claims that these men, most of whom are WWII veterans, "did nothing for us".

I hate to give morons like this any more publicity, but I also want you to be aware that that people like this actually exist. He has written several books and made TV appearances based on his anti-military hysteria, as well as a string of web sites. I hope I'm allowed to question his patriotism without being criticized. It is encouraging that the video only rates one star, and the comments section is overwhemingly outraged over it.

This is a guy who decided to drop out of basic training (with multiple vague excuses) and is now jealous of those who had. He must be hard to live with such a man; he's only in his 20s and has been divorced three times.
