The following was *supposedly* posted by a member of the United States Army. What do you think about his message?

Question, how and why is RP recycling a SEVEN year old post along with comments to make it match today's agenda?

I believe he is sadly mistaken you do not have a choice if your are order to serve you have to go. Do not care about your political views when it comes to doing your duty. You signed up for it. In my day I enlisted but many were still being drafted they did not get a choice.

He's probably afraid to go to war, it goes along with the territory, whether you like it or not, it's part of your contract, so suck it up and do what you gotta do to protect your country

Sometimes people will hide their fear or cowardice behind a phony cause or stance. I remember when we were headed for Beirut back in the 80's. We had several young Marines claim they would not go to kill their Muslim brothers over oil. The Marine Corps handled the situation as expected. Demoted to E-1. Six months in the brig. Six months no pay. And a Bad Conduct Discharge. Problem solved.

Posting this on a Social Media website should get you a one way ticket to Dumba@@ville. Like seriously. When we raise our right hand and said I Erick M Holmes do solemnly swear to defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic......... It means exactly that. Regardless if we are involved or not. We all have our opinions about policies and political things etc. What you don't do is post this for the whole world to see. You do realize just because you block your face doesn't mean higher up can't search for you. Your an E4 in the Airborne unit that narrowed the search down to like 75%. Pont is you don't post sh&t online. I don't know why younger generations need to post everything that they do in life online. This is why I believe American militaries have become soft. This needs to have serious repercussions from this and needs to have an example set.

Let’s assume it’s today AND that it really happened. I can’t see the necessity for this War and I was in Iraq and Afg for 24 months. Our government abandoned my fellow Soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan and that upset me to no end. I can’t see the reason for it. It’s like Biden is looking to be tough when in actuality, he’s weak.

Hmm. Do not say or write, such things while wearing the uniform. You can be charged under the UCMJ. As to your views, I am like the rest of these folks. I don't give a shit. I do not know who you are, or if you are even serious about what you are doing. You had better get un-ignorant in a hurry. Somebody is going to recognize you, and then you will see the shit hit the fan.
