Name-calling or bashing anyone on social media is tasteless and unprofessional, whether you are an Officer, a Warrant Officer, an NCO, Junior Enlisted, or Civilian. I supported both of our Presidents in all four of the terms they have
served since I put on this uniform and it chagrins me to see my peers
trash either one of them. HOWEVER, the questioning of judgement or motives of those appointed over Enlisted military members is their prerogative, and if we move to a place where there is no freedom of speech on social media platforms, we will quickly become fascist.<br>

SPC Gregg Bothell - In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States–Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar, which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments. Thus obfusciating your comment.

Bashing elected or appointed public officials is wrong. Pointing out honest, informed and correct opposition to the actions of public’s officials, outside of your chain of commmand is proper and patriotic.

SPC Bradley Stensland - It wasn't the fact that we withdrew, it's how we went about it. Biden attempted to shift the blame for the disastrous withdrawal by saying that Trump left him with the mandate but without a plan of execution. So does that mean that you don't bother to make a plan? What a pathetic excuse.
You may recall that during congressional hearings, both Gen Milley and Gen. Austin Testified under oath that the CIC did not follow their recommendations. You wouldn't have seen those videos if you watch the legacy media.

The checks and balances are in place. Unless impeached, he is the Commander In Chief. Promoting propaganda that is contrary to good order and discipline can lead to a Court Martial. <br>Don't do it, don't tolerate those who do. Especially from a superior that refuses to have his authority questioned... Because that is just being a hypocrite.<br>In the meantime, exercise your right to vote, refuse to follow illegal orders and defend the Constitution.<br>

. There was a time when soldiers and sailors were discouraged from voting because the government was their employer. That policy is just an extension of “don’t criticize the President or government”, IMO.

Try to remember that in the middle of our civil war Veterans in the field voted for Lincoln, rather than vote for those wanting to abdicate and end the war with two nations. The Veterans voted to finish the job that was best for the country. Not sure, but that may also have been the very first time soldiers in the field got to vote even.

LtCol Bruce Janis - Can you be more specific on when "a time" was? I enlisted in 1978, and always was encouraged to vote. I was my units voting assistance NCO (thank you for another add duty Top!) in Germany. I'm happy to say we went from less than 40% of unit members being registered to vote to over 75% in one year. Just by putting the word out that they can and do have a duty as a citizen to vote.
Frankly, I'd be surprised to find that military personal was ever discouraged to vote.

I am the 2nd cousin of GW. What was meant then is not what is meant now. GW set the high standard for being entirely truthful, caring for and everything for the benefit of the people, limiting interaction with foreign countries with respect to treaties etc., except for commerce. No, everything GW said, which is unfathomable in amount, has fallen by the wayside by a lot of self interested, lying, conniving, treasonist politicians trying to rob us of free speech for their own selfish self interests and criminal activities. At this point we need to get over the stand by your leaders, right or wrong, especially when it is all wrong and benefits no one except themselves.
