Dear Mickey:

  Saw a photo of you recently. Apparently you haven’t missed many meals. You seriously need to get into the gym bubba.
  And as an Academy grad (72) I gotta say you and your undoubtedly miserable ilk are an  embarrassment to us all of us who graduated from the zoo. 
  Get a real life.

Hello, (name withheld)-
I just saw your email to Mikey (not Mickey) Weinstein.  I also saw his very appropriate reply to your idiotic personal attack.
Like you, I’m a USAFA grad (’85).  As such, I feel compelled to say that the efforts of Mikey and the MRFF are not an “embarrassment to us all of us [sic] who graduated from the zoo.” In fact, I know many grads who support the efforts of MRFF.  At times, I wish more of them would be more public in their support, but then I see cretinous missives such as yours, replete with its poor punctuation, grammar, and syntax, and I understand why some of our fellow grads may be reticent to expose themselves to the sort of vitriol that you so ignorantly spew.
That’s not me, though.
I’m proud to stand very publicly with Mikey Weinstein and the other good people who support the MRFF.  I won’t deny that Mikey can be strident, undiplomatic, and unapologetically demanding at times.  But I also find him to be an honorable and courageous man who has willingly devoted himself to an important fight, even though it often brings fools like you out of the woodwork to attack him.
I’m also quite happy to suggest that, in my view, your immature note reveals you to be a bit of a douche.
Peace,
Mike Challman
Christian, USAFA graduate, MRFF supporter
Frankly I really do NOT care what you think. And to say you are a Christian and that you support this fat, anger filled clown is illogical and an oxymoron. The emphasis should be on moron; and clearly the moron is you.

Go about your miserable conflicted life with the contempt of most of your fellow grads. Do you seriously think most of us support your sad cause? Get real.
We had jerks in every class and clearly the two of you fit that description. Glad I didn’t have to serve with fools such as you. And I suspect that you had less than an illustrious career.

Dear (name withhled),
Wow, you are one angry, angry man and I pity you for that… although I do appreciate the verification that you are, indeed, a douche.

Peace,
Mike
Your note to my dad
Dear (name withheld),
I won’t waste much time on you. It must be so frustrating for you to
have so little power and influence that you have to hide behind your little
email and send off trollish notes to people who are making an actual difference
and impact in the world.It brings me so much joy to know we’re pissing you
and your ilk off so much – you made my day!Casey Weinstein
Class of 2004

Dear Stein:

Actually I could not care less about you and your vile Dad- a person who spends his life trying to trash others. What a role model he is for you. 

And actually you are not pissing me. I would have to care what you think to be pissed off.

You must be a great officer. Probably always on the lookout to try and hurt someone who espouses religious faith. I pity the poor folks who have to work with you.
In the final analysis know this-most grads loathe your Dad. Whatever you think nothing can change that.

 Dear (name withheld),

Well how about this (name withheld)? I’m Mikey’s other son and an active duty Captain. I’ll be at USAFA tomorrow all day walking around the the cadet area while proudly wearing my A-jacket with my last name on it. Why don’t you or anyone of your classmates come say this stupid shit to my face and prove you’re more than just a scared, sad little man who hides behind his keyboard. I stand up for my family and friends and my beliefs….I got that from my role model AKA my dad. See you tomorrow.

Dear (name withheld),

I have seen the email traffic concerning you and your statements concerning Mikey (not Mickey) and the MRFF. What bothers me enough to write to you is the fact that you are a fellow graduate. I would expect a higher standard from you than I see from the ignorant, uneducated, so called Christians that normally slander and debase a truly good and caring man. If you saw one hundredth of the hateful anti-Semitic filth that Mikey gets sent every day you might have chosen your words more carefully.   It sometimes causes this incredibly intelligent man to react and say something without thinking it through, which is what I expect was the case here. So I too will have to throw in my two cents worth.

 

So you know where I’m coming from, I am a member of the class of 1977, a History Major (you will see why I mention that later), and admittedly a good friend of Mikey (actually he is my brother). I served 21 years on active duty, most of it flying MC-130’s. I retired to continue flying airplanes instead of a desk.
I think my good friend and brother Dave Maher said it all but I’ll try as he did to correct the misunderstanding you and so many others have concerning the efforts the MRFF makes on behalf of all men and women in uniform.

 

A person’s religious belief should be and is protected in this great country of ours. However, when an officer or NCO of higher rank uses their rank or command position to force ANY kind of personal religious beliefs or attitudes on a subordinate, or uses it to judge a subordinates performance and consider it for advancement, it is against regulations, but more to the point, it is just plain wrong.  That in a nutshell is what the MRFF is trying to stop. You should be a whole hearted supporter not a detractor.

 

Our Founding Fathers whom you invoked in one of your emails recognized the danger of state sponsored (or “correct”) religion and ensured we were protected from it. They were of many different denominations, and Benjamin Franklin was actually a Deist. The MRFF is fully in support of this protection and is trying to keep a growing, frightening brand of Evangelical (?), Dominionist (?) Christianity from eroding the strength of the US Military. History has shown how truly dangerous a force like this can be. Current events are confirming it.
I truly hope you will re-examine your heart, your faith, and your thoughts on this. Reconciliation and forgiveness are most certainly Judeo-Christian beliefs. Maybe you and Mikey could exchange a new set of emails.
Sincerely
(name withheld)

 

PS. I have always thought personal attacks are childish, but to set the record straight, Bart Simpson is taller than Mikey and has a LOT more hair………
