How Does This Soldier's Message Make You Feel?

I fully agree with Sgt Kennedy. As a careerist, and a Citizen, I took an interest in politics. I voted (still do) in all elections. When I was near the end of my career, up in Alaska, I attended (in civilian clothes) a party caucus. I was selected to go as a rep to the next level, but when it was discovered I was a soldier, it was pointed out to me that the Hatch Act prevented me from going ahead. I could then and now understand the point of the act. When we put a sign on our lawn or a sticker on our car, we are expressing ourselves as individuals. When we do things in Uniform, we are no longer individuals, but we are spokespersons for our service - and political messages have no place there.

He signed on to be a servant of the constitution. Not just when he likes it!

PO3 James Heine and you sir are an idiot!

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.

Does not matter what sex bottom line he/she needs to go.

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

PO1 Don Uhrig -
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.

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
