Yeah I’ll say it!

As a retired Air Force pilot and combat veteran, I respectfully appeal to @SecWar to make an official statement for ALL troops as to good order and discipline in our ranks. Congressional Democrats, regardless of their backgrounds, are NOT in the chain of command. Their irresponsible rhetoric, some would say treason, will lead to speculation and decreased war fighting capabilities. Sadly, some junior NCO or young officer, with a young family, is going to use Slotkin’s Sedition Video to justify not following an order. Not because it’s illegal, but because he’s been emboldened by irresponsible Democrat rhetoric to think it’s up to him. He’ll think he has their backing but, in reality, they don’t give a shit and will hang him out to dry. Respectfully, @PeteHegseth, please consider an all ranks statement. Thank you. “Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of a wiley agitator who induces him to desert?”—Lincoln, on calls by Democratic elected officials for rebellion and sedition on the part of the military, June 12, 1863. @KurtSchlichter @CynicalPublius @DaleStarkA10 @RobManess @Beardvet
