Sitting at Baskin-Robbins on Bagram for six days (give or take a few hours)? Of course, none of the hippies to whom he&#8217;s speaking care &#8211; as long as he wears his BDU jacket and stands in front of them, that&#8217;s all they need. <\/p>\n<p>He says he&#8217;s a veteran of &#8220;the situation&#8221;. What situation, Matthis? Does he mean &#8220;the situation&#8221; in Germany and Japan, because those are the only places he&#8217;s been.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=10373\">Elaine Brower <\/a>screeches that she doesn&#8217;t want her son to have to go back to the war. That sounds like something she needs to take up with her son. Last I knew, he&#8217;s a staff sergeant, so he&#8217;s reenlisted a few times &#8211; no one is making him go back. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s a smart guy and could get a job somewhere else, if he wanted. <\/p>\n<p>Brower wants to be seen as a victim of the government&#8217;s war &#8211; she&#8217;s not. She&#8217;s a victim of her son&#8217;s personal decisions. So was my mother when I was in the Army. Chiroux wants to be regarded as an eye witness to something he&#8217;s never seen. He&#8217;s another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=8723\">Ward Reilly<\/a>. 30 years from now Chiroux is going to be a scraggly old man clinging to the days he was drilling hairy-legged hippie chicks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these two need the war. The last thing they really want is for it to end.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, someone tell Bill Perry (he commented on the Facebook entry) that I think it&#8217;s hilarious that he&#8217;s using a picture I took of him as his avatar on Facebook. I&#8217;m glad he&#8217;s a fan of my work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my spies who has infiltrated Chiroux&#8217;s inner circle on Facebook (he won&#8217;t &#8220;friend&#8221; me &hellip; <a title=\"Chiroux and Brower; being something they ain&#8217;t\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=15985\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chiroux and Brower; being something they ain&#8217;t<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,37,30,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-ivaw","category-phony-soldiers","category-united-nations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15985\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
