Coward: US soldier refuses to serve in ‘illegal Iraq war’
Meet Matthis Chiroux, the latest darling of the far-left and an active duty Sergeant in the U.S. Army. After crying openly while listening to the testimony of the disgraceful “Iraq Veterans Against The War”, Chiroux held a press conference and proudly announced his decision not to deploy to Iraq as ordered, because he cannot go against his “core values” and participate in the “illegal occupation”.
“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.
Chiroux’s announcement came minutes after the far-left Democrats who make up the “Progressive Caucus” held hearings about ending the Iraq war. The centerpiece of the hearings was testimony from members of the anti-war group, “Iraq Veterans Against The War.”
The hearings descended into an orgy of anti-American/anti-military sentiment which consisted of a litany of falsehoods, mischaracterizations, and outright propaganda.
The ex-soldiers accused the military of “lawless murders, looting and the abuse of countless Iraqis.”
One veteran offered to “name names” of officers in his chain-of-command who he believed were guilty of crimes.
The entire episode was much like and in some ways worse than John Kerry’s famous testimony before Congress during the Vietnam war. Kerry accused the military of war crimes, including the cutting off of ears, and razing villages in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan (”Jinjiss Kon” if you want to say it like Kerry).
Like Kerry, these Iraq veterans didn’t complete their service, accept their medals, and go on with life. Instead, they chose to disgrace their country and sully the reputation of the U.S. military in front of an all-to-eager bunch of left-wing Senators.
People like Sgt. Chiroux are a disgrace to the uniform they still wear, and he’s wrong to refuse to go to Iraq. When you join the military your job is to go where the President sends you. You don’t get to decide which wars your willing to participate in.
Chiroux has been ordered to report for duty in Iraq in June, and when he fails to show up he will be prosecuted. In a perfect world, Chiroux would be sent to prison, stripped of his citizenship, and sent elsewhere.
