US Army Reservist failing to follow orders...

US Army reservist Matthis Chiroux has made liberals across America quiver with excitment as he publicly refused to report to active duty.

Chiroux, a former sergeant in the US Army, has decided that since he does not agree with the Iraqi "occupation" that he is no longer obligated to follow orders.

After serving 5 years in the Army, Chiroux was honorably discharged and placed in the Individual Ready Reserves (IRR) which essentially serves as a resource of former soldiers who can, at any time, be reactivated during war time or during a national emergency...very similar to the standard military Reserve units through out the country.

For some strange reason, when Chiroux received his orders, he simply decided that since this is an "illegal and unconstitutional" war, he simply refused to go. Military Times wrote: "Many believe they (IRR) would never be called -- but when he army found itself stretched by unexpected combat demands in Iraq in the summer of 2004 it began issuing mobilization orders". Chiroux, former sergeant, should understand that while the US is still engaged in active conflict in foreign nations that is neither illegal or unconstitutional as it was declared by our President and made official by Congress, that he as a reservist MAY be contacted for future deployment.

Chiroux and his father, a rocket scientist from Alabama believe this to be a "back-door draft" when in actuality it is what it is...a Reservist program instituted by the government to be used during time of conflict. I'm curious...when did Chiroux, after his honorable discharge, fail to remember that while still a reservist and still under the command of the Commander in Chief, he was no longer obligated to respond to orders? C'mon people this isn't' ROCKET SCIENCE, and even it was he could simply ask his...
