Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
Veterans have been speaking out this whole time. The media probably tries to keep that quiet, and alternative streams of information probably don't focus much on what vets say, unless they're specifically vet-focused in which case most people in leftist spaces probably don't hear about them. But vets have been speaking up all along.
It's more rare for someone active duty, because not only are they prohibited by the UCMJ from speaking against the President, VP, or SecDef (since they're in the chain of command), but also it's prohibited to take part in any political activity in uniform. The reasoning is basically that anyone in uniform is a representative of the military itself, and therefore not supposed to take part in partisan activities or express a political opinion in the capacity of being a service member.
Active duty can go to protests and do all that, but they're supposed to do so in civilian attire and not bring attention to their military status.
So my thoughts are a lot of servicemembers are opposed to what's happening, but even if they're protesting they're keeping quiet about their military status. Also to avoid bringing attention to themselves, cause if their chain of command finds out they can make their lives hell even without hitting them with the book.
So what this guy is doing is ballsy. He could very easily be stripped of rank, lose his commission, or be sent to the brig. Honestly the latter is most likely because the other two would take an act of congress since he's an officer, but with this congress I wouldn't be surprised to see it.
