No Kings protester, completely serious: “Yes, absolutely, I agree.”

As a veteran,
I call on @PeteHegseth and @SecDef to investigate this TSgt’s uniform violation under Article 134. Zero tolerance.
A Technical Sergeant E-6, a mid-level non-commissioned officer has appeared in uniform on public video, referring to the President as “Cheeto,” disparaging U.S. military operations, and lamenting the need to “apologize” to NATO allies. This is not private opinion. It is deliberate, visible conduct while representing the United States Air Force.
The violations are precise:
• Article 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice: Conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, and conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces. Her words, delivered in uniform, undermine command authority, sow division within ranks, and project weakness abroad.
• DoD Directive 1344.10: Prohibits partisan political expression while in uniform, including any implication that the military endorses or opposes a leader or policy. This was not subtle it was broadcast.
The penalties under law:
• At minimum, non-judicial punishment reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay, confinement to quarters.
• At maximum, court-martial: dishonorable discharge, confinement up to six months, total loss of pay and allowances. Security clearance revocation is almost certain.
What makes this grave is not the words alone, but the rank. A Technical Sergeant is entrusted to lead, mentor, and uphold standards not to weaponize the uniform for personal grievance. This is not dissent; it is dereliction. It erodes the trust that binds our forces together and signals to adversaries that our discipline is fraying.
The Department of Defense must respond swiftly and decisively. An investigation, followed by appropriate discipline whether Article 15 or court-martial would affirm that the uniform is not a platform for politics. Anything less invites further erosion.
This is not about silencing speech. It is about preserving the integrity of service.
