#3 Look at the opening lines - they peg the bullshit meter right off the bat.

Matthis Chiroux is the kind of young American US military recruiters love.

"I was from a poor, white family from the south, and I did badly in school," the now 24-year-old told AFP.

BULLSHIT - if you did poorly in school then you are NOT what the recruiters love. They probably had to get a waiver for your sorry white-trash ass.
But wait, there's more:

was due to be deployed next month in Iraq.

On Thursday, he refused to go, saying he considers Iraq an illegal war.

"I stand before you today with the strength and clarity and resolve to declare to the military, my government and the world that this soldier will not be deploying to Iraq," Chiroux said in the sun-filled rotunda of a congressional building in Washington.

"My decision is based on my desire to no longer continue violating my core values to support an illegal and unconstitutional occupation... I refuse to participate in the Iraq occupation," he said, as a dozen veterans of the five-year-old Iraq war looked on.

So he's a fucking coward as well.

Courts martial. Dishonorable Discharge and dump him out of the Army.

Plus, what kind of "reporting" is this? It reads liek a Code Pink press release, not reporting.

If it a phsyical object that were this slanted, it would fall off the page and rattle around the floor.

#4 This d*ckweed really galls me:

At first he's just a dumb little hick fooled by those mean recruiters, and now he's a legal scholar deciding personally what's constitutional and whats not.

W. T. F.

He and the others are LIARS plain and simple.

He sure as shit had no problem accepting promotions, paychecks and living quarters from Uncle Sam. And now he goes AWOL and deserts when faced with going into an Iraq tour that is FAR better than the ones served in the previous years by troops doing far harder duty. And it is clear that we are doing GOOD work - even Angelina Jolie and the UNHCR agree that we have improved the conditions there.

Coward.

He is a weasel, a deserter, and should be treated a such, from his cowardly ass to his slicked down drug-dealer hairdo.

The left HATES the military and them parading this idiot around is pure proof.

I'm boiling MAD about this now.

Slap that deserter in irons and haul him to Leavenworth.
