There's a Spotfund by "DOOR LLC", I'm not familiar with the platform or the sponsor.
Idk anything about DOOR LLC, but one must admire a soldier actually committing to his oath.
One must also hope that if this one soldier is standing up to make this statement, that there's thousands more who share the sentiment too, and he haven't heard from them yet.
With any luck, this'll become a trend.
That man is going to be breaking rocks. I hope, instead of something worse; as didn't the current administration purge military leadership to install loyalists?
Fuck yeah its a great photo though.
§934. Art. 134. General article
Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special, or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.
That man is going to be breaking rocks.
He's going to be doing the Joe Rogan circuit for a month. He'll have a dozen book deals by January.
I guarantee his actual politics is dogshit. Willing to bet he's going to be running for Congress on the "America didn't bomb Iran hard enough" inside the next election cycle.
Maybe after. The UCMJ is no joke.
His job is to kill innocent people, so you can’t expect much from him.
Prob if he was enlisted, officers typically get the kids gloves. My money would be on forced retirement, if they really want to make an example of him they might dismiss him after being court marshalled.
Finally, someone in the US military with integrity and a backbone.
He won't be in there much longer unfortunately.
Yeah buy he will have a by paycheck once trump is ousted. And then s allow him to avoid doing what revolution trump is planning.
He who saves his country breaks no laws
U.S. military regulations impose strict limitations on service members' political activities, especially in uniform, and Article 88 forbids officers from using contemptuous words against the President or Vice President.
As a civilian I don't think calling for legal impeachment is contemptuous, nor is peaceful First Amendment Activity. The GOP-majority congress has let us all down, choosing party and Trump over country.
As someone unfamiliar with Air Force ranks, I tried to look up how big a deal the rank of major is. Is this something that is after a year or two in the service? A decade? Are there hundreds of majors in the Air Force? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
Fairly big as they are very close to the top. You'd have to go to a military academy and be in for over a decade.
very is relative.
TIL the US Air force uses army ranks for its officers instead of Carpet Cleaner, Squadron Leader, Wing Commander, Tailfin Director or whatever the Commonwealth uses.
Generally, an officer starts with that first gold bar then moves on to the second, silver bar after finishing school (4 years). Sometime within 2 years after that they’re likely to move up again, and after that it becomes politics where it could be anywhere from 2 years to the rest of your career before another promotion depending on how much people like you
Its a middling mamagement role, typically you can't get your own command until one rank higher. It's about 6-8 years of service starting at O-1. There should be a few hundred of them in the Airforce.
However he did a big no no, specifically making political statements while in uniform if the pictures here are accurate. He could be facing time in prison over that if it goes to court martial. So effectively he's tanked his career, and risked his freedom when he could have done just one of those things. Middle management small dick syndrome if iv'e ever seen it. Willing to bet he found out he wasn't getting promoted or something to do something so assanine in order to pick up sympathy points for a political run later.
Announcing your coup isn't a good plan for success.
There is no article. It's just bullet points..
You want President Mike Johnson? Because that's how you get President Mike Johnson.
Though it's probably the only way they'd get impeached. I don't see Republicans allowing a democratic SotH to become president.
MJ would be better than Trump, simply because he doesn't have Trump's cult following. The GOP would be weaker with Johnson as president.
Johnson would also exacerbate the divide between the christofascists and tech fascists. The only thing keeping them from clawing each other's eyes out is the Trump cult.
And compared to Trump, Johnson has no clue how to manipulate the press with Trump-style gish gallop. Even on right leaning outlets, practically every story you see about him is him fucking something up or saying something awkward and weird. He has no ability to spin things like Trump does.
Look as much as we want it to happen we need to wait till after midterms. Multiple times we have tried but it has not budged. Dont reveal you are not on their side.
Also military officials should be the ones calling for impeachment because we need them to stay in positions of power in case of anything
