Oftentimes, the images we see similar to this one are political and extreme. Here's a refreshing change of pace from the usual messages of that nature...

Well, I guess if you're going to make a statement this is the right one.

But in a way the service member IS making a political statement. Let's face it, anything we as service members and Veterans, say or do can be viewed as a political statement. Sure his intentions are for it to not be view as a political statement but that is up to the person who views it.

A non-political statement made in the form of a political statement. Oh, life is not without its little bit of ironies.

Ironically you could say he's making a political statement by saying that ;).

I get the point though, just playing devil's advocate.

No one in uniform should make a political statement

Hmmm are those gloves authorized? He's wearing his Kevlar indoors, the font isn't the same size (size 12 New Times Roman) in his message, too large a gap between I and for, why is everything capitalized, (who is this Soldiers powerpoint mentor), is that uniform pressed? looks very neat...and he has no PT belt on. Where is the safety officer/NCO at? Where is the risk assessment in this? Is he reading the front part of a 4856? I'm kidding BTW. Normally someone always points out the obvious crap in photos like this.

Plot twist: There's no person there, just handless gloves holding a piece of paper, stuffed into a bodyless uniform.

Your flag is backwards soldier.

Also, on behalf of the entire Air Force I would like to personally condemn all those who eat dairy products. Those of us who can't because we get sick are left out and I will not allow myself in the AF to represent anyone or anything that supports dairy usage. Remove it from the DFacs or I will start refusing your unlawful orders and what not and so forth. #lactoseintolerantservicememberlivesmatter

He said while making his own political statement.

Politics is more than just who is running.
