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

If our COWARD RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS would properly fund Ukraine, we wouldn’t see things like this. It’s disappointing to see things like this gets posted

If Congress would properly fund Ukraine, then that possibility wouldn’t even be close to be happening.

He certainly is entitled to exercise his right to free speech but, it should not be done in uniform. His position that he won't fight (if so ordered) is totally inappropriate/insubordinate. If he is ordered to do something (fight) and refuses, he should be court martialed (jailed) and removed from the service. The honorable thing for him to do TODAY, would be advise his command that he will not follow a lawful order (Even though on has not been given regarding Ukraine) and be processed out of the military.

Well, let's see. You won't fight which means that if you are shipped over there, you are willing to die. If you are not willing to die then you are willing to kill. The choice is really up to you. No one wants a war, but if it happens you have to choose.

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.
