You should not wear that uniform. This is a "true fraternity" that separates us from the picture you are portraying

Don't be a coward and hide behind a 'message'.
Own up to your views, just don't do it in uniform!

In these times I most certainly understand autonomy. As for the uniform? It makes no difference.
All are entitled to express their opinion. You do not give up your right to have and express opinions while in the military. Though there are those that will differ and try to punish these people.
My opinion..

Well first off, we don't know for sure if this is a real soldier. Just because the photos shows what looks like an authentic uniform, it is still suspect. So, We all know that political activities, to include statements are not allowed in uniform, that being said, you still have the right to your opinion, you just have to be more careful how you express it while in the military. The statements of "I won't kill for this, I won't die for this" tells me that this person has some serious misconceptions of what they are in the military for. I understand that they believe we should not be pushing this to the point of engaging in this fight all out, i.e. with ground troops, I agree with that point, but if you are unwilling to follow your orders and do your job as you signed up to do then you need to find another line of work. There are many that I'm sure would take you on with open arms, time to seek the out, and then get out of the military as you are not doing it any good. Hopefully we all go in with our eyes wide open and realize that some of the things that we will be asked to do are less than optimal let's say, and that goes with any job. To take a job and then whine about the things it entails is just childish. Grow up see what life really is and deal with it and make better choices or go home to mommy.

I believe he is in the wrong business. He needs to find a job that is more in line with his fear of actually having to do his job.

I am with you because this is exactly the point. He is in the wrong business. I do not care if he is authentic, or not. he is in the wrong business. Join Salvation Army or something.

If that was made while wearing a current authorized uniform i would be pissed...it is in an old uniform so the person is either a veteran or dependant and noone is remembeting the right to free speech that we vowed to defend

It’s probably fake in my opinion because he appears to be wearing a USMC cover with Army Insignia.

Don't do that in uniform. In civilian clothes, off-post, say what you want to say.
Given there has been NO declaration of war, his statements are allowed. And...can the US AFFORD much more spending for Ukraine? FORTY BILLION DOLLARS...and climbing. Its not like Ukraine is some virginal peaceful nation; it is one of the most corrupt nations on Planet Earth.
A complex situation for sure.
