How Does This Soldier's Message Make You Feel?

There Are Times, And This Is One Of Them,
When I'd Really Like More Facts Before Giving My Opinion,
But I Also Realize Our Government, Just Like Theirs, Feeds Us (YUP, That Stuff)
Making Decisions Far More Difficult And Easier To Screw-Up.

Sgt Kennedy he's in the Army and don't think he could have passed Marine Basic Training, glad i don't have to worry about watching my back.

I can't add to this. Its states perfectly how I feel about this excuse for a soldier. Well said Sgt Kennedy.

SGT Kennedy, with all due respect, I believe you are in error. Please review UCMJ Articles 88 and 117 please, and then tell me that this soldier is in compliance with those regulations. As a Veteran, I am all about the Constitution, Bill of Rights and in particular the 1st Amendment.

However, when you take the oath at least 2 things occur, everything in the UCMJ applies (and trust me I was one of the first that realized "Don't Ask, Don't tell" Don't (and still doesn't) work), right along with some of those Constitutionally guaranteed rights being held in abeyance to maintain order and discipline.

last point....Freedom of Speech does not guarantee Freedom for the Speech you used. Case in point, someone uses a slur to me, my freedom of speech and expression would be to potentially punch them in the nethers... Unfortunately that is also known as Assault and Battery, which is frowned upon by law enforcement.

Is the soldier performing his right to express himself, yes. Is he free from the consequential violation of the UCMJ, absolutely NOT.

Yep. When you wear the green tuxedo, you dance where they tell you.

I Believe The Word "He" Is Also A Generic Term For "Any Group Of People, Regardless Of Sex.,." Example: In Spanish A Group Of Ones Children Are Called "Los Hijo's", And A Boy Is An "Hijo" With The "o'"Making The Determination And A Girl Is An "Hija" Where The "a" Indicates The Feminine Aspect... But Never Refer To Anyone As A "PENDEJO"! ~ Do Ya Understand Gringo? LOL (:-)>

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney Not going to argue with your "beliefs". In my life experience a "he" is a man as "she" is a woman and there are those who want to be "they". If I can't tell what a human is identifying as, then I look for an element that I can use as an identifier that does not "trigger" some snowflake. This, "Army member". That was identifiable - assuming the person was for real and didn't buy the uniform from an Army Surplus store. I stand by my short comment that pointed out the assumed gender. Men are not always to blame - there are other genders in the Army who could be to blame.

It's Not My Belief, It Comes From 80 Years Of Experience And Conversations With Others Throughout Various Parts Of The World. ... USA ~ Living In Panama ~ Spending Time Visiting Japan And Costa Rica, Stationed In South Korea ~ And Living In About 8 Of The United States... I'm Not "Assuming" Any Gender, I'm Stating A Term Which Is Use When Discussing A Group Of People, Which Is Commonly Done In Other Parts Of The World.
As I Stated; In Spanish ~When Literally Translated, "Mis Hijos" Mean "My Sons", But Use As "My Children" ~ Male And Female Combined.... Chuleta Pendejo, Que Va? Que Es Lo Que Pasa Contigo? M I E R D A !

The subject post was made 9 years ago, a year after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea. Since then Russia's invasion of Eastern and Northern eastern Ukraine in 2022 escalated the conflict, so the subject post hasn't aged well. Hopefully, the US and our NATO allies are not about to make the same don't mistakes our great-grandparents and grandparents made in Europe 9 decades ago.

The main reason I joined at 17 was for the college money and other benefits. Yet, for some strange reason I stayed 21 years and deployed twice. I found a purpose after I joined. I don't think it matters too much why they joined, it's what they accomplish while they're in that matters.

I went into the army under he montgomery bill for college, but still went to war in Kuwait, because a tyrant was killing innocent people. I hate tyrants. My job was to rescue people in distress. Hotel 8. That person hiding his face is a coward, that was my first reaction.

If this was really a Soldier, I say if you don't want to fight then get out- I'm guessing this person joined for the college money. I see it far to often, want military to fund their college without any obligation of self https://snow-rider3d.co
