Someone sent me this link to the Times Herald Record<\/a> yesterday about the protest that happened outside of West Point while the President was speaking yesterday. Apparently Matthis was there spreading his usual bullshit;<\/p>\n

Matthis Chiroux of Brooklyn said he agreed to enter the Army as an alternate sentence after \u201cbeing busted selling mushrooms in Alabama,\u201d but now regrets that choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI messed up,\u201d he told a crowd of about 90 to 100. \u201cI committed a crime when I went to Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which crime would that be, Matthis? Did you take two scoops of sprinkles from the ice cream bar at the DFac?<\/p>\n

The truth is that according to the Army, Matthis was never stationed in Afghanistan;
\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He’s tried calling himself an Afghanistan veteran before. I caught him a few years back<\/a> doing it for his World Can’t Wait masters. He wasn’t an Afghanistan veteran then and he’s not one now. No campaign medal for Aghanistan, no notation on his 2-1.<\/p>\n

Matthis is becoming a mirror image of his mentor Ward Reilly who pretends to be a Vietnam veteran and an Army Ranger. You can find Ward slouching around protests wearing tiger stripe fatigues and a boonie cap with a Ranger tab sewn on it;<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a><\/p>\n

His only duty station after training was in Germany (where he never wore tiger stripe fatigues<\/a>) and the only military school he ever attended was infantry Advanced Individual Training – the same training every infantryman gets. Reilly’s records;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matthis does his best to demean everyone’s service while he takes every opportunity to imply he’s a combat veteran<\/a>. Like he tries to tell us he’s like Martin Luther King, Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
