CID

This week in HodgeWorld & Co.
The United States Army Criminal Invistigation Division(CID) seems to have nothing better to do with their money but prey on innocent people. These fools have an open invistigation on me because they think im running a business called HodgeWorld & Co. from Government quarters. If you are military of live in Government quarters and use Ebay and ship through PayPal dont nick name your user accounts as your pet projects ending in Co. or the sorts even though you are not running a company because if you try to ship through the UNITED STATES POST OFFICE ON A MILITARY BASE they will report you, because they have nothing better to do with their time or the taxpayers money but to try to prosecute COMBAT VETERANS and INNOCENT CIVILANS. Well it looks like I wont be supporting those assholes any more.
