Anybody else gotten this ? What is the verdict ? True ? Bogus ?

My name is Jamie Switras and I was recently deployed to Iraq. I came back to find out my wife was leaving me to raise my 2 year old
daughter on my own. At first I was going to stay in the Military and raise her alone but I soon realized my daughter deserved better
then that. It was one thing for me to leave her for a year with her mother but to leave her for a year without her mom and dad would
not be right. I recently found out I can get chaptered out for no family care plan. Unfortunately the military will not help me and
my daughter get started in the civilian world.
So I ask you to ask yourself what is one dollar to you? A cup of coffee? A pack of gum? A can of soda? I ask you to go without one
of these things for one day so I can get out of the Military to raise my daughter. I am just trying to raise enough money to get
started. So I ask you to look deep in your heart to help and if you can't please forward this to people you think can help._

"Signs point to bogus."

In all seriousness, isn't it illegal to divorce a soldier who's deployed? I mean, the divorce just won't go forward, will it? I have a friend in that very situation, though there aren't any kids involved, and she has to wait for the guy to get back before she can divorce him.

I don't know if its illegal but in any case no judge would let it go through without hearing from the solidier. And as a blood relative (of if he adopted her), his child entitled to all millitary benefits as long as he is. When I was in the Navy my daughter (who lives with Mom) got millitary benefits.

BOGUS.

Donate to this guy's pay pals account, or the terrorists win.

He needs your help!

Send everything in your savings account. He fought for your freedom. Is he asking too much for laying his life on the line? You owe him...show you care.

I was going to donate to him but I only have a cashiers check made out to $2, if anyone is willing to take it and send me my $1 via western union, they can donate the $1 to the solider.

Cheers!

Only people who like Moore's lies, would find his hack job funny.

His hack job had nothing to do with Moore? Why are you so infatuated with him?

How dare you imply that of someone who fought for your freedom! If you don't support your soldiers you are supporting the terrorists. Even questioning his honesty borders on treason.

If your a real American, you'll give him your SSN, and your bank account number.

Otherwise, your just a 'pig'.
