Discount-Mats.com Sucks

I was just reading the news, and came across a story that got my blood boiling. If you haven't seen this yet, a Sgt stationed in Iraq inquired about getting some mats from this crap hole of a business called discount-maps.com. Apparently they are an online business. Because the Sgt. is stationed overseas, the mats would have to be shipped to an APO address. When he asked the company if they shipped to APO addresses - here's the response he got:

"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."

What the hell kind of response is that? It gets even better. The company is owned by a Pakastani Muslim. I worked for one of these guys for 8 years, and even though the place where I worked sucked, I don't think our sales people would ever have responded to a request like that. That's just rude. News reports say now that the company's webside is down (confirmed) and that the mailbox on the answering machine is full (confirmed). If anybody reading this wants to express their appreciation to the business, their contact information is below.

If I ever get in touch with these people, I am going to politely suggest that they take their business to Pakistan, since they apparently don't appreciate the fact that it is the troops who fight and die for this country that even make it possible for them to have a business here in the first place!
