Interview with Robert Chiroux
I guess now that IVAW member Matthis Chiroux is home in Alabama, the folks down there don’t much like him. My inbox was chocked full of Chiroux-related material this morning. I wish they’d been this upset with him before he’d come home. A local TV station in Huntsville interviewed Dr. Chiroux;
Chiroux says his son continues making the rounds spewing anti-war messages while collecting money.
The father says he supports his son’s freedom of speech, but not when it’s just to make a profit.
“It comes a point in which you have to do the greater good. The greater good is to provide warning,” added Chiroux.
The former sergeant’s dad told WHNT NEWS 19 his son just spoke at a church in Auburn last weekend. He’s not sure if money was collected, but offers advice to potential donors.
“If anyone is encountering Matthis and feeling inclined to providing him with financial assistance, think carefully about what you’re doing, and what you’re providing financial assistance for,” added Chiroux.
Chiroux says his son’s actions are hurting the family.
The father has gone so far as to ask his attorney to demand his son stop causing harm to the family name.
I noticed that last night, someone purporting to be Chiroux’s fiance dropped by to scold us for pointing out the inaccuracies in Chiroux’s fairy tales. I guess she needs up to stop attacking him so he can make some money and stop draining her savings account. She makes the same old “parents should support their children” BS that she probably used when she announced her engagement to the useless grifter to her own parents.
Lemme tell you something, Alex, what Chiroux is doing to the soldiers with whom he served is far worse than anything I’ve done on this blog. In his latest ignorant speech in Alabama, he called the troops racists, rapists and murderers – and you approve of it. Maybe 35 years ago he could have gotten away with such slanderous speech, but this is the age of the internet, dear. The age of real freedom of speech. When Matthis Mole sticks his head up, This Ain’t Hell will be there to Whack him back down.
And parents are supposed to love their kids, but they don’t have to tolerate their crap. As a parent of four kids about the same age as Matthis, I’m kind of an expert on the subject. When you’re a parent, then you can come and criticize the way we raise our kids. Dear.
There’s going to come a day in the near future when you’ll wish I wasn’t speaking figuratively.
And you’re right, this has nothing to do with politics – it has to do with your betrothed being a lying sack of shit. If these posts weren’t affecting him, you wouldn’t be here defending him, nor would he be stopping by to make a rare appearance.
Tell Chiroux to get a real job and quit smearing the folks with whom he served, and I’ll stop writing about him. I hear air conditioning and refrigerator repair is big business in Alabama.

To copy & paste (& edit & add) from my previous posting on Dr C (yeah!) vs Matthis (boo!). . .
Good on Dr C!
It is NOT a sin or a parental failing for Dr C to warn the public at large about the immoral (even if not illegal) antics of Matthis. One can love the sinner, and hate the sin. After a parent has done their best to raise a child to adulthood, everything that child does after leaving home is a reflection on the “child”, not on the parent. I’ve seen it too many times in both my own and other families.
I think even more highly of Dr C to be able to come out and air the family laundry in public (very difficult and embarrassing), instead of trying to deny it and pretend it doesn’t exist. Dr C has more manhood in his pinkie then Matthis has in his entire body.
I know that a dad can disown his son, but I wonder if a dad can DIVORCE his son??!! I’ve heard of a few cases where children have divorced their parents. Hmmm. . .
Maybe Dr C can have a DNA test done to see if Matthis really IS his own flesh & blood. Maybe Matthis is a genetic mutation. Seems odd that with all the honorable service done by the Chiroux family through the generations, that Matthis should prove to be the dishonorable exception.
And once again, I ask anyone who can, to notify me if Matthis ever comes to the SLC, UT area. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Chiroux for standing tall. As a native Alabamian and alumni of AU (War Eagle), I am very proud of your dignfied and moral stance. Hopefully one day Matthis will one day see the light and mend his ways.
Since it seems unfair to diminish Dr. Chiroux’s name any further, perhaps we should start referring to him as “Matthis Summerseve” or “Matthis Recepticalend” or even “Matthis Analease”.
Not a sermon, just a thought.
Since he sends in his self-proclaimed fiance to stick up for him, I figured we’d start calling him Mrs. Alex.
Maybe Mrs. ‘Comrade’ [Alex] would be more appropriate.
I would ask that Alexandria and her family’s name be left out of this. She has seen my nature in spite of having been slandered by my son. I do not fault her for instinctively defending the man she believes is capable of loving her and neither should anyone else.
” Analease” – I LIKE it!
BTW – as a liftime Alabamian, yes, these high 90 + degree days with 90 per cent humidity DO call for people to keep the AC in good repair, BUT – us folk down here don’t even like it when someone tracks dog crap in the hosue from outside… so we sure wouldn’t let a walking turd like Analease in our homes!!
Can’t we send him to LA, or DC or somewhere else that his stench will blend with the assorted local freakazoids???
Dr C,
I don’t care what rank you were when you retired. If
I ever have the opportunity to meet you, I will salute you.
Still serving to propect the innocents.
Wow! I missed stuff today!
Dr. Chiroux is a class act. I’m not surprised to see him defending the fiance that way. He’s right. She’s probably a really sweet person. Matthis may be atheist, but I’m not. I’ll keep her in my prayers.
