Bush (Neocon) Coolaiddrinker leaves wife and 11 children for Iraq!
My God; he joined after the start of the Bushwar! He has 11 children and one on the way!
It said to see such foolishness for good people. His wife and children are both beautiful. His wife has held up very well. See link for pictures. It is just sad!
[QUOTE]Reservist with 11 children headed to Iraq
Sunday, February 13, 2005 Posted: 7:20 AM EST (1220 GMT)
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Johnnie Chennault has no regrets about joining the Navy Reserve, even though it means he's going to Iraq later this month.
But he does worry about not being around to help take care of his house full of 11 kids.
"Leaving my children, leaving my wife for so long -- you're going to miss all the little things as the kids grow up," he said.
Chennault and his wife, Ronda, have a full range of children of all ages growing up at their home in Springfield, a small town about 30 miles north of Nashville: Terr'i, 17; Stephen, 15; Jobie, 14; Joshua, 12; Zakari, 8; Johnnie IV, 7; Mikal, 6; Syerra, 4; Gracee, 3; Jakob, 1; and Nikalus, 8 months.
"Yeah, I have more kids than most people, but I don't think my kids are any more important to me than somebody who has two kids. His kids are important to him, too. I just have more to miss."
**The Chennaults knew deployment was possible when he joined the Navy's Construction Battalion, the famed Seabees, two years ago.
Chennault, 29, had inquired about enlisting in the Army, the Air Force, the Marines and the Navy, but they all told him it was against policy to take someone who has that many children to support on a newly enlisted man's pay. The Navy, however, said that wouldn't matter if he joined the Reserves.**
But with the war in Iraq, his unit was called up for duty, and he leaves Sunday for training at Gulfport, Mississippi, and then on to Iraq.
"After 9/11 it just seemed like a big need, like there was something else I could do," Chennault said. "My country has done so much for me and my family -- why couldn't I take a little time out and do something for it."
His employer, Sears, will make up the difference in pay while he's in Iraq, an assignment Chennault thinks will last seven or eight months.
He has worked for Sears for nine years, mostly as an auto mechanic. But he recently took a promotion to assistant manager in the auto department.
"He's big-hearted, and he'd do whatever it takes to help someone else out," said his boss, Chris Nokes. "I wish he wasn't going. I just hope he comes home safe."
After entering the reserves, Chennault remained committed to his military service. He recalls that when the Navy announced that his unit was getting called up, his name wasn't on the initial deployment list because of a clerical error.
"I raised my hand and the first question I asked was, 'Why am I not going?' ... I said, 'Look, I don't think it's fair for my brothers and sisters here to be going. They have children, and their children are just as important to them as mine are to me."'
Chennault's wife is supportive.
"We go to a really good church, and they talk in there a lot about the husband's and the wife's role, what the Bible says is the husband's and wife's role," she explains. "And my role is to support my husband. My mother told me when I got married, 'Your life is about him, and you need to be there for him."'
They met while working on the General Jackson excursion boat and married when she was 25 and he was 19. Four of the children are hers from a previous marriage.
While her husband is away, Ronda Chennault will rely more on her parents and on their church, South Haven Baptist. The children will have to do more for themselves.
Still, she worries.
"I have trouble sleeping when he's not here. That's one of the hardest things," she said.
She knows she's going to miss him, but Ronda Chennault is proud of the example her husband is setting.
"It's important for the kids to see that he can't just weasel out of the duty that he volunteered for," she said.

Greetings from Texas Southern University!!! It broke my heart when my chemistry teacher informed the class of your situation. It is really sad that such a devoted father is being forced to leave his family at a time like this. However I have the utmost admiration for you and your devotion to your job and your country. Your willingness to leaveyour family in order to serve and protect your country is perhaps the greatest indicator of how much you really do love your family. GOD Bless you!!!!

Csamples, so maybe you can tell your neocon yahoo buddies at Freak Republic to stop unfairly and viciously cussing anything French since Chennault (French name) has sacrificed his entire life and family in fulfilling his military service to his country, Israel-USA.

When all the champions of the Iraq war rattle off the reasons the Iraq war is going well, you hear things like, "I hear from soldiers in Iraq everyday, they tell me that all the good news in Iraq is not getting covered, like all the schools being built and water treatment plants that are now fully operational, blah, blah, blah." Geez, I guess none of that infrastructure is needed in this country.
I love it when all these pro-Iraq war idiots say things like, "Women can now go to school..." Apparently they are confusing the Afghanistan propaganda lines with the Iraqi ones and don't know Saddam had women in his cabinet and the universities were full of women under Saddam. Now that is all changing, women are being forced to don the hijab and not go to university. And women rights doesn't look too good in the future what with the newly "elected" Iraqi leader refusing to shake hands with women, in that it violates his Islamic beliefs.

Why not put your own belly on the battleground, csamples?
What could be more honorable than martrydom for Zionism & Plutocracy?

I'm in the Navy Reserve, and I know a lot of people like him. Hell, I volunteered to go to Iraq. They didn't take me, but boy, I feel stupid about it now.

I wonder how carefully csamples read this thread before replying? The title was "Bush (Neocon) Coolaiddrinker leaves wife and 11 children for Iraq!"
I agree with him Mr. Chennault devoted father and Patriot, and if our government was fighting for America I might see it. Mr. Chennault is not being "forced to leave his family." He volunteered to go to Iraq. He had never been in before he joined to go to Iraq. I feel real sorry for all the guys who had already done their time and who are government is making go to Iraq. I read an article about a young mother who gotten married and finished her time in the army and had baby and she was being forced to leave her six month old to do a tour in Iraq.
Mr. Chennault is about my age, he has been blessed so much in his life. He wife is just plain beautiful as are his children. I hate to a good man risk his life for nothing.
Also csamples writes as if he is adressing Mr. Chennault directly odd. I do agree with csamples Mr. Chennault is a good man. GOD Bless him!!!! I hope he comes back safe and sound to his family.

I admire this man and damn those who abuse his patriotism for the worst of reasons. I primarily refer to our Judeo-Plutocracy.

I know that you're a veteran, Sertorius--and I commend you for your service.
...but to see the fighting-age FReakers an other neo-con chickenhawks bray about Sharon & Junior's squalid land-grab as if it were a noble crusade galls the gullet.
Few things viler than that 20-something smirking in a BMW festooned with yellow magnetic ribbons and "W-04" stickers...driving past three recruiting stations to his real-estate job. :thumbd:

Howard,
My comment was in reference to the fellow with the big family who volunteered. Like you, I'd love to see young Josh Chafetz and Benji Shapiro volunteer for an infantry or arcav unit, but I would expect to see Ari Sharon eat a ham sandwich before that would occur.

Sertorius,
What is going on here? Are these computer generated or something? Are they just Bushbots who did read anything on this forum? And why are they adressing Mr. Chennault rather than this forum. It is just odd...

The Jews are now as fast as they can in order to build not one but two pipe line going to the state of Israel from Iraq.

I admit, I don't fully understand why good white men persist in volunteering to serve in Iraq. It just doesn't make sense, especially when they are needed for the growing conflict right here at home. But I have a theory. :nerd:
Since they're not allowed to express any manifestation of nationalism at home, due to the combined bullying effects of Political Correctness, feminism, and the multiculturalism industry, white American males who volunteer to serve in Iraq are taking out long-suppressed feelings of ethnic pride on hapless Iraqis.
From the point of view of the power elites, it's much safer for Euro-American males to target Arabs in the Middle East than to target negroes, Mexicans, and Asians in the US. Not only that, but it has the added bonus of making the Middle East safe for Israel.

Stuka,
Sadly I think you are most Right! I saw a stoy on some poor local boy who killed. They should his mother talking about how proud he was to be in the Army and how poud she was of him. He was only 20. It just so sad to see all these young white males dying for the Bushie New World Order.
What makes this case even worse is. Mr. Chennault is not a teenager with no one dependent on him, he has a wife and 12 children.

For all those not aware, Texas Southern University is a university for blacks. ("a real G" gave it away!)
Apparently, "Corey" is probably a Negrified Army recruit who can't wait to scream at Whitey in boot camp. Don't know why he is addressing the man in the article.
HEY COREY, real men stand back and FIGHT the invaders -- whether they be Mexicans, Negroes, or American soldiers fighting for ZOG in a foreign land!
