A lot of you sent us links back in November about Alexis Hutchison, the mom who went AWOL instead of deploying because her family care plan was weak. Our buddy, GI Korea, wrote a lot of good background in November<\/a>. Well, the Army filed charges against her today.<\/p>\n

The story goes like this; Specialist who joined the Army childless, was ordered to deploy with her unit. She activated her family care plan, took her one-year-old son to live with Hutchison’s mother in California, who, after a week, decided that she couldn’t handle taking care of the child along with a sickly mother, a sickly sister and a sickly daughter. And, oh, grandmother also runs a day care center for 14 children in her home. How can she be expected to care for her grandson?<\/p>\n

It seems to me that someone might have considered the additional burden on Mom before it all fell apart. So when deployment time came, Alexis hid out in her off-base apartment, according to her, remaining in contact with her commander. I’m sure the commander was thinking of nothing else but Alexis while he was deploying to war with 100+ soldiers. <\/p>\n

I’m sure that the first thing out of everyone’s mouth was “What about that woman who showed up at Benning with her kids?” Well, Lisa Pagan was an IRR soldier who had already served her active duty time, and Pagan didn’t miss movement. Pagan’s cause wasn’t taken up by IVAW, VFP, Courage to Resist, GI Voice – because Pagan wasn’t a resister. <\/p>\n

Hutchinson isn’t a resister either, but she’s been made into one by the disingenuous Far Left straw-graspers. DoD says they have 70,000 single parents on active duty, why does this one think she’s so special that she can use that status to avoid going to war. <\/p>\n

I’ve found things that connect her lawyer, Rai Sue Sussman to the National Lawyers Guild which puts her on the same level as James Branum. She also interned last summer with the Military Law Task Force, the NLG arm which Branum co-chairs. Oviously, the anti-war clowns are going to wave Hutchison as their latest bloody shirt. Despite the fact that she’s not against the war in any political way.<\/p>\n

I guess my main question is “Where is the father?” All of this could have been avoided if she’d chosen to have a child with a more responsible man. So that’s a few bad choices she made for which she expects the Army to make allowances.<\/p>\n

Why is it the Army’s responsibility to cave into all of these interests and Alexis Hutchison’s demands when no one else seems to be accepting their burdens here. Why doesn’t lawyer Sussman, the recent law school grad, take the child for a year if she’s so damned concerned about her client’s welfare, for Pete’s sake. All of this talk about the Army forcing her to abandon her child – she abandoned her child at the moment of conception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
