Marine officer discharged for criticizing Afghanistan withdrawal in viral video says he’d do it...

Now that he's a civilian, he can say whatever he wants, within reason. He can criticize the federal government all he wants.

I'm glad he said what needed to be said. Although doing it in uniform would bring about consequences, I hope he considered that and chose to do what he did anyway instead out of ignorance. Saying what you want to say when you're not sitting in your office and in your uniform, that's going to come with restrictions. You can't blame the military for not liking that, no matter what's said. Doing it outside the confines for the base, in your street clothes and not linking it to your military occupation is a whole different thing altogether.
Good for him for standing up for what he thought was right.
