Fashion mag tongue-bathes deserter [Jonn]

Everyone is getting in to the act of hugging our cowardly deserters. Even Marie Claire fashion and beauty magazine. Jason at Sith by Sithwest emailed us a link to his skillful dissection of the puff piece on  Kimberly Riviera’s flight to Toronto;

The possibility of running away didn’t occur to Kim at that point. But it did to her husband, Mario. He retreated to his computer, his usual hideout in times of stress.

He must be a real piece of work. Retreated back into his world of WOW?

Kim met Mario as a teen at the Wal-Mart, where they both worked. They’d dreamed of a future with educations and real careers, but Kim became pregnant at 20, and another baby quickly followed. She and Mario lived with Kim’s parents, whose dislike of Mario made the situation unbearable.

Was he the greeter or the fat ass in electronics? I’m sure her parents loved taking them in after he knocked her up and then managed to knock her up a 2nd time living off of her parents.

Go read Jason’s post – he left little for me to add.

Basically, they were a couple of modern day kids who made a lot of bad choices and thought the Army would be their solution. But they were both lard-asses (you know the typical readers of Marie Claire) who decided one of them needed to join the Army – of course hubby Mario bravely stepped up and convinced his wife to join – and he’d suffer quietly at his computer while she navigated the obstacle course and bayonet training.

When she came home on leave from Iraq, of course after they’d spent the $8000 enlistment bonus on a suede couch, Mario, the fat loser who impregnated Kimberly before they even had a place to live, convinced her to go to Canada where they now live in government subsidized housing (as opposed to parent-subsidized housing they left behind) and government-sponsored food pantry. They left behind the suede couch.

But Kimberly doesn’t mind living in poverty;

[P]overty is something she has always known. “I never had any money growing up,” she says of her childhood in Mesquite.

So she drags two kids into the same poverty that she and her loser husband had created for themselves. Now they’re hiding out from even more responsibilities on Canadians nickels. She joined the Army in 2006, and I suppose she never figured she’d be sent to Iraq.

In the words of the sage Red Foreman:

“Your life is hard because you’re a dumbass.”

There more about her at her Windows Live Profile where other people are wearing her out. And at a touchy-feelie CBS article
