This guy is a real wuss...

Another former M.D Captain in the Army "Reserves" assured to be recorded as an anti-war coward is David Wiggins. David began a hunger strike two weeks before his deployment to Saudi Arabia in mid-December to protest the impending war. Two weeks after arriving in the Persian Gulf, and still refusing to work or eat, the M.D couldnt hack the proclaimed hunger strike any longer [No doubt the heat was kicking his punk behind] so he went ahead and ate food and took drink then he removed his uniform and sat in an intersection on his base in Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately....nobody ran him over.

I disagree with this upcoming misadventure as much as the next non-interventionist paleoconservative...but when the metal hits the meat and the O-Plans go into the circular file...in the military you just gotta shut up and color. 'Nuff said

He was a class ahead of me at "Hudson High". In fact, I was a plebe in the same company where he was a yearling (2nd year). I don't remember much about him other than that he was pretty bright, and that he was soft on the plebes (not atypical for a yearling). His yearbook graduation photo shows him wearing stars on the collar (top 5 percent of class) and headed for the Medical Corps. (If I had a scanner I'd post it)

I left the Army after 5 years and wasn't in the Gulf War. Another classmate, however, told me about Wiggins' schenanigans with the "hunger strike" etc. I wasn't aware though that it happened in Saudi. I remember hearing that he may have done jail time.

I guess he considered his full ride through the Academy and Medical School as some kind of freebie that carried no obligation.

I assume now that he's long out of the Army. He probably hangs out in leftist circles, which provides him with ego-strokes for his views and gives him a further chance to dishonor the Army and the Academy.
