How Does This Soldier's Message Make You Feel?

The first thing I noticed was the word supposedly. As in let us start a rumor with facts.
Assuming it is an active-duty soldier. I disagree with him or her. But that does not really surprise me. I have opinions that disagree with many people just like many people disagree with some of my opinions.

This looks like a Specialist-4 (E-4). Not an NCO; this person has no leadership experience or duties.

In the face of this statement, I can only count the days that this person's enlistment is done.

Okay, people are "finished," turkeys are "done." I stand by my statement.

First, who is still wearing the "Gravelpit camo", I am pretty sure that everyone has transitioned to OCP. So, I think this person just wanted to reminisce about their old ACU's and post this. I am pretty sure they have a choice IF they are in to either get on the plane or make rocks into little ones in Leavenworth (IMO). Secondly, I wouldn't chapter the poor kid, that would be too easy. Plus, they apparently made the choice before by looking at their right shoulder. Plus, chaptering would just put them back home, and darn it, we need the bodies lol. Third, just like some have said, don't be a pussy, I mean coward to hide your face. If you are going to believe in something, then be proud of it. I mean look at the people who denied the shot for the "Vid", they stood up for something and didn't block out their face. Anyways, I truly hope there won't be another WW because no one really wins, especially if someone is willing to make people turn into glow-in-the-lights.

I thought there was a rule about protesting in uniform. I know we were not to get involved with marches or protests in a way that would make your unit look bad or our country look bad. Was supposed to wear the uniform with pride and honor. In today’s world information travels fast. To many outlets for voicing opinions. Your political views per se are yours. Vote but when it comes to that uniform and what it represents I must remind those people you took an oath. When it is allowed to not hold that oath true then we don’t have a military to serve our country the way others died defending it.

Anybody can put anything on a blank fake poster and add to any photo. This doesn’t even look real.

1. Outdated uniform. It's army, but we don't wear that one anymore and it's been quite some time since the change. So, fire starter.

2. Why tf is he hiding his dmna face?? Probably connected to the outdated uniform he's wearing.

3. The only word I can think when I see that is "coward". Most of my current buddies want to go to Ukraine to help fight.

He signed up to be in the military. I guess he never really thought about going to war. Vietnam vets did not want to go fight someone else's war but the did what they were called up to do. They did their job. Next time this guy is do to reenlist, this puzzy needs to get out.

You volunteered for this. Early on I am sure it was explained, that soldiers don't make policy. You carry out the policy of the civilian government. If choose to stick to your position please enjoy your time in Levinworth.

I came into the military of my own free will. I agreed to go where ever they send me. If I died that is the risks I agreed to. You could be killed crossing the street. We are all going to die sooner or later. I came in at the beginning of the Vietnam War and left after it was over. Once Germany wanted to rule the world, Have you considered Russia or China may have the same dream? Most wars are started because someone has something someone else wants. . Japan wanted what was called the Rice Bole of South East Asia. The Bible also gives good examples of this

When you become a member of the armed forces, you give up certain rights. You don't have to agree with why we as a country are getting involved in a particular conflict. You duty is to follow the orders of you superior officer and command and chief, and as long as those orders are lawful and not morally abhorrent then you are to follow them.

Honestly, whomever the soldier is in the picture needs to be ushered to the door and has no business wearing that uniform. They are a disgrace.

I don't think we should have "boots on the ground" in Ukraine, either. But were I still a Marine, I'd go willingly, whether I wanted to or not. Did he join the Army without swearing an oath to obey his superiors? I doubt it. You go where you're told to go and do what you're told to do whether you like it or not. Of course, he can always desert, in which case I hope he enjoys his stay at Camp Fed.

While I agree with what the soldier is saying, you're gonna deploy when they say so. You're gonna go out there and fight like you trained to do. Otherwise, they're either gonna make your life miserable OR you may get seriously injured or die because your attitude isn't right for the situation.

I seem to remember taking the Oath of Enlistment, and I basically signed a blank check. I was fortunate enough to gave that check returned, unwashed. But, had it been necessary, I was willing to respect my Oath and go where I was sent. 11Bravo in Oct. 1965.

You swore to defend our country no matter where you go. No one put a gun to your head to make this oath. You are a liar for picking and choosing when your oath applies. If this isn't what you signed up for GET OUT. Let other soldiers step up and do the work you refuse to do. Liars get nothing and we don't need another Bowe Bergdahl on our hands.

This is from a post 8 years ago in a uniform we no longer wear? Did the propaganda machine edit it to change the sign or something?

First of all, the conflict with Russia is coming. They are joining with Iran and China.

If you have to hide your face you either don't stand behind the statement and its a stunt OR you are a fucking coward. Either way grow up or grow a fucking spine.

I feel ashamed for him!

He should be discharged for disobedience of refusing to defend America from foreign and domestic forces get him out.

As a soilder myself we protect our rights, even the free speech. I don't support his statement but I will defend his right to free speech
