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.
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.

With any luck, this’ll become a trend.
