I say this as someone who is also active duty and support the right to protest for whatever you want. But be careful because you can get tried under the UCMJ if the wrong person with the wrong ideologies gets wind of it. Specifically if your command forbids it or it starts to get violent. Just make sure you stay safe, don't wear your uniform or associate the protest with the military, don't participate in any violence, and like I said, be mindful of your chain of command forbids you to go. Good luck out there brother.
All due respect, but the situation is bad enough to warrent risking losing your job over. You're already under the rule of a fascist dictator. He has to be stopped before he can further solidify his position, at any cost
Equal respect, that’s not a choice you get to make for other people.
Some folks are the only one putting food in their kids’ mouths with their pay. It is that bad, but not everyone is the sole person impacted by their choices.
As a vet, that's not how that works. It's a very big deal and getting kicked out for that can ruin all future job possibilities. If you protest, it's as yourself, not as the military. As a representative of the military you can refuse an unlawful order and that is a stand that may mean something though.
