Time for that "soldier" to find a new line of work. Although I agree with the statement on the sign, I would've never done that in uniform. Some people just don't get why stints like this aren't right. I never talked politics or religion when I was active duty nor did I ever express those views.

It seems to me that we all had taken an oath, some of more times than we can recall for sure. I took my 1st Oath of Allegiance in 1972 when I first signed up for the US Army (Delayed Entry Program). As far as I am concerned that Oath is still in full force and will continue to be for as long as I can draw a breath! This Soldier is in need of a trip to the back room for some one on one retraining and alignment with what the US Army is there for! I am glad that I am not his Squad Leader as we would have had a 'chat' to get him straightened out. There again I am not sure I could trust him to watch my 6. I also am not sure I would want him anywhere near me if the balloon were to go up! Friendly fire might find him some dark night! Yes, he does have the right of free speech just not in Uniform! ;-) I SALUTE All My Fellow Veterans!!! GOD Bless America!!~!

He’s wearing ACUs bitching about Ukraine. I don’t think this dude is even in. We haven’t worn ACUs in a few years so this tells me it’s staged. If he was a soldier though I agree that he’s a coward for not showing his face.

Actually, It's Not Easy To Answer.
He Must Have A Strong Opinion About It, But I've Search All Over The Web & Found Various Statements Saying: "They ARE An American ALLY"~~~"Then Others Which State They're NOT".
That Being The Case; I Don't Even Feel Informed Enough To Give An Answer, Nor An Opinion.

Since When Did Ukraine Become an Important U.S. “Ally?”

Ukraine has become an important U.S. military ally as though the development was an irresistible force of nature. Yet, the strategic rationale for giving Ukraine that status is murky, to say the least...

In 1948, British Prime Minister Chamberlain basically allowed Hitler to occupy part of Czechoslovakia, saying there was no reason for Britain to fight in "A quarrel in a faraway country, between people of whom we know nothing." Chamberlain didn't understand that appeasement of an aggressive, imperialistic dictator only feeds his appetite. Soon, the Germans occupied all of Czechoslovakia, and soon after that, Britain and much of Europe was either fighting for its life or already defeated and occupied. If the free countries of 2024 act like the British of 1938, will the outcome be the same? Probably, as Russia is run by an aggressive, imperialistic dictator.

Excuse the typo: the Chamberlain statement was 1938 (as correct further down), not 1948.

Based on how dated the uniform is, I suspect this photo was taken during Gay Obama’s second failure term, when Russia seized the Crimea, because Gay Obama was weak.

While in uniform one stays away from making political statements. Yes we have free speech but not while in uniform.

If you are a soldier, you fight, you are a GI, government issue, you do as ordered. These remarks are ludicrous.

This Soec 4 is a disgrace to the uniform he is wearing. Appearantly he has been deployed to a combat zone since he is wearing a combat deployment patch on the right sleeve. He is also a disgrace to the 101st Airborne Division he was supposedly deployed with.
Granted he is entitled to his opinion, but posting something like this while in uniform, that is a whole nother matter.
Like a combat Veteran that served in WW II, Korea, and credited for Vietnam, who I had great respect for and was a great influence on my decision to enlist told me, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink." That is exactly what I think of this jerks posting that he is using to hide his pansy ass face with
But, this is the type crap we as Veterans can probably expect from many of those now serving. Especially with the idiots that are now in charge.

This will be one of the first to desert and beat feet to Canada. But, as stated before, this one sounds as if he was only in it for college benefits and loan forgiveness.
