How Does This Soldier's Message Make You Feel?

This individual is part of problem with the armed services today, everyone is out for himself no team work no greater good for the unit.

Any honest, realistic person would post this message. The soldier isn't wrong.
When leadership becomes political it would be wise for soldiers, of any rank, with courage and conviction to push back.
Russia is not our enemy, neither is Iran. Propaganda is.

Unless I'm completely in left field, being in uniform and expressing this sentiment has and is totally unacceptable. That being said, you have the right to your opinion and to express it in an appropriate manner and setting as long as it is perfectly clear that it doesn't represent whatever branch you are in and that your opinion doesn't represent that of the military. Better judgement by an individual should be exercised. and by the way, why is this even being discussed in the 1st place???!!! Ask yourself why you are in the military to start with.

I feel sad that this person wanted to color their statement by wearing a uniform but was not brave enough to own up to it.

If, in fact you are in the military, and you want to make a political statement, fine, but do it in civies and not in uniform. I suppose, after 9/11, it is a good thing that the rest of the world didn't share your view.

It was made by a specialist out of the 101st.It's a political statement and rather stupid. The SM should know better. You can't tall the SM's name from this but there is enough there that his command can identify him if they see this.

Whether we ultimately go to war with Russia or even enter into a conflict with them is not up to him. He like the rest that serve in our armed services did so voluntarily with the knowledge that war could come and that men and women in our services could and would be called upon to put their lives on the line in defense of peace. It is not as black and white as some would paint it. Putin is testing the waters, and in so doing testing the US. No one wants to see, let alone needs a resurgent Russia.

And yes, this is cowardice and indicates that this individual will disobey orders if so given.

I respect his right to his opinion but I despise his assertion that he won't support his brothers in arms. I likewise despise his cowardice. If you're going to say something, effing well own it!

This MILITARY IMPERSONATOR needs to be arrested and Courtmartialed. If it is truly a current member of the military, they should not only be Courtmartialed but summarily executed for dereliction of duty, refusing to follow orders of their superiors, and TREASON!

We can't charge him for insubordination to the Commander in chief, as the buffoon who illegally is filling that post SHOULD NOT BE LISTENED TO, by ANYONE outside of his immediate personal space, THAT MEANS EACH AND EVERY OFFICER FROM JOINT CHIEF OF STAFF, EACH AND EVERY MEMBER AND CIVILIAN IN THE PENTAGON, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE.

He better follow orders.

He wouldn't have made it in the 60's or 70's. I'm not sure why he joined the military. With what he posted, I am assuming he is looking for a job at Leavenworth. Not as a guard, but as a prisoner. Canada won't take him. Maybe he can go to N. Korea. They had one US soldier desert during the Viet Nam war. Just now came back to the states.
Believe me, when I say he would be the first one to go on patrol, as "point"
Like Sgt. Kennedy says "Political statements aren't to be made in uniform", but in reality it isn't enforced. And usually its made in company of like thinking individuals. Usually lower ranking individuals, from E1 up to and including E4. Sometimes higher ranks, but few.
