Chiroux’ date to answer for his childishness

An eagle-eyed reader (I only have his real name and I’m not sure he wants me to use it) emailed within an hour after it was posted that Matthis Chiroux, our favorite crybaby from the IVAW says he has a date to answer to the Army for his childish refusal to report for duty;

March 12, I’ll attend a board hearing in St. Louis, Missouri, to determine what the nature of my discharge from the Individual Ready Reserve will be. The Army has alleged “misconduct” and they’re shooting for a “general discharge,” but I’m pushing for “honorable,” as my refusal to deploy was not an act of misconduct.

Well, if that’s his defense, that not doing what he’s contractually obligated to do is not misconduct, I hope his mommy gets him plenty of soap-on-a-rope.

I will be working closely with Iraq Veterans Against the War to plan what we hope will reflect a Winter Soldier event in the form of our members testifying under oath to the military about their experiences in the Global War on Terror.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Army will allow the whole membership of IVAW turn an administrative hearing into a clown show of malcontented buffoons. Maybe Geoff Millard can wear his 3 MSMs and impress the board with his chair and microphone arrangement skills. Or TSO’s favorite droning Powerpoint Ranger, Luis Montalvan, can put the board into a deep and deadly sleep.

Chiroux looks forward to the opportunity to beclown himself and the members of IVAW;

The Army in no way has forced this hearing upon me. I demanded this hearing from them to oppose the General Discharge, and I thank them for providing me due process.

Of course, when the Army doesn’t let them parade the Ship of Fools before the board, there’ll be an outcry of unfairness. And there is no shortage of support from the Democrats in Congress for Chiroux, he claims;

As I write this, they are penning another letter of support which will be more widely circulated in Congress than the first to be sent to President Obama before my hearing. As well, several Members have expressed interest in appearing in person to voice support for me and troops like me in March.

Chiroux claims his supporters are from the group who signed a letter of support for him at the height of the BDS outbreak in July. Of course, he claims that the reason Obama hasn’t heard them yet is because of Joe the Plumber;

We tried to bring this message to President Obama at the final presidential debate. Tragically, Joe the plumber took precedence that evening….

Damn working American…who the Hell does he think he is letting people talk about him?

Like anything else, Matthis’ prestige comes with a price;

We are continuing to gather funds needed to cover travel expenses and accommodation for those who will be testifying. I hope anywhere from fifteen to thirty veterans, military family members, Iraqi civilians and constitutional experts will appear before my board.

Yeah, send him some money for thirty lay-abouts to get shut out of an Army administrative board, which has no responsibility to hear any testimony from anyone. If this does happen at all (and I have my doubts), the Army is not in the habit of turning their official business into a minor theater performance complete with the bearded lady and lobster boy.

You can see the fingerprints of civilians all over this thing – those World Can’t Wait Maoists, most likely. I can hear them snickering about him letting them waterboard him and now they double-dog-dared him to act like a pompous jerk in front of some Army officers.
