How Does This Soldier's Message Make You Feel?

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.

TODAY IT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, BUT HOW IT IS TAKEN MY OTHERS.

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.

Company grade Article 15 for making political statements in uniform.

Time for him to get out of the military...

It's not his decision to make. NATO has not/is not sending troops to fight in Ukraine. Considering this soldier already served in combat with the 101st, I won't call him a coward. If the U.S. were to commit troops to this war, he would be going. If he decides to go AWOL, he will be found, and incarcerated.

I concur with this soldier.

That reminds me of the cowards during Desert Storm falling on the ground in front of transport buses kicking and screaming like a 2 year old, thats BS, that person doesn’t deserve to wear that ABN. Patch

I retired 10 years ago with that uniform. I also believe that this version was "phased out" at least 5 years ago. So with the currency of the sign and the fact he is in a discontinued uniform I call "BS" on this being someone on active duty.
