All of the photos of him making any sort of statement are from the academy.

He is wearing a CIB (combat Infantry badge), I saw that on his so called "cadet uniform"

He is active duty while taking those pictures.

You can agree with his political views, this is a free country. But nothing changed the fact that military members are not allowed to make overt political statements (including on social media) while in uniform.

ignorance is not bliss.

If you don't know then I suggest you find out. Apparently, you have no idea about security clearances.


Clearances are not given to Communists and Marxist.

It’s not the 80s, and the Soviets are not our enemies. The Cold War ended a long time ago.

That is not courage, that is pure ignorance. Who would want that to be an officer in the army?

Come on, be realistic.

Perhaps you should crawl out from under that rock you are hiding and find out what is going on in the world. It is worse now around the world than it was during the cold war.

While I wondered why we were in 'Nam while I was there it did not stop me from fighting them. I was in our Navy at the time. I was told to never talk politics while I was on any form of active duty. OK, I can keep my opinion to myself.
