I want to thank the service member who shared their story about what it's like to serve right now. It's not easy to be honest about burnout and open-ended orders when you're still in uniform. Every service member has a constitutional right to speak up. That's not unpatriotic or inappropriate.

Great serviceman readout and from a vet (USAF) I truly feel for what our guard men and reserves are dealing with in this “endless, strategy-less, agenda-less” conflict. We are headless as a country rn 🤷‍♂️

When you sign up to go slaughter people you don’t even know and have done nothing to you, you should expect to be treated like the dogshit you are. Do better. Don’t kill for fascism or pedophilia and you’ll do much better for yourself.

Someone must address what the people do when our military establishment and service members decide to follow illegal orders and follow a criminal Executive and SOD. That conversation should be front and center on the national stage during an illegal war.

Thank you, Mr. Kinzinger, for not locking this important information behind a paywall. Public pressure worked in getting the Lincoln ship sent home, and we need to keep it up for other service members giving far more than they signed up for.

If we can’t treat with respect the members of our military The people who volunteer to put our flag on their shoulders and march into battle and maybe not comeback! Then who are we? Who are this draft dodgers sending our kids to battle? WE DEMAND RESPECT AND TRUTHFULNESS For the families #respect

1) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⚡️🇺🇸⚡️ MANY THANKS to ADAM KINZINGER and to the Service Member here!⚡️🙏⚡️ It is so critical and so important for other #Americans to hear from #ServiceMembers and what they are going through, and to share in this communication - for we are all sharing in this devastating #SheerTyranny

It would be difficult and putting our service people at risk. So we need military leadership to back them up - but it is past time for our military to cease being compliant to a criminal lunatic president.

Sadly I think some of them are scared to based on how this administration went after members of Congress for advocating not to follow illegal orders and how this administration goes after anyone who says something that doesn't pain the picture of everything is going great.

Unfortunately, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg on how Service members are being treated as consciences abjectors who are filing to leave the Service is the most in US history. The true number Service members that died trying to speak out, but were killed by “friendly fire”

Why vote for any Republican? All they do is get a salary, health insurance, and a pension, and they vote for whatever Trump wants. Unless a high cost of living, poisoned food, and wars are what you want.

You had an obligation to speak up when he was separating children from their families during his first administration. You didn't. Some of those families were never reunited. Some of those children and parents will have permanent emotional scars. You failed them.

War is war! Nobody likes it. But we need great warriors to defend our country! You have to be strong and willing to stand up to countries that want to destroy us! We don’t need people who are ready to make that sacrifice! You can’t be afraid and run when you’re in uncomfortable situations!

Same. Thank you for your service during this fucj3d up time. I wonder if they will let our armed service members vote by mail. It's those 2 weeks of retrieving and counting these votes that they base their whole Save Act.💯

Truth be told not sure WHAT I'd do today?! My years were so amazing, such a camaraderie, such a feeling of PURPOSE! One kiddo still on active duty...think of him daily! Just hoping he's ok!

Considering the vast river of taxpayer money that flows into the US military, the wellbeing of it's service members should never either be in doubt or ESPECIALLY due to issues that are so blatantly administration related.

Do not obey unlawful orders! Our service members shoukd not EVER be put in a situation where they feel if they speak up or out they will be punished, or their entire squad punished. The oath was to protect the USA and the citizens therein. Honor the constitution. No where is it said obey hedgebreath

I want to thank you for thanking every service member. We are all grateful for our people back home. We sailors all knew that it wasn’t gonna be a rose garden but we did for them back home

I did when serving and would now as well. It really felt right to refuse a direct order that would have jeopardized my health. And they knew I was in the right bc there wasn’t any blowback to my career. BUT-you’re always weighing that risk.

When I was studying Arabic at AUC in the Summer of 2013 I knew a man George Tarnow who worked for the US Department of State. Mr George Tarnow bragged every day that I knew him in Cairo that he buys sex from trafficked underage Egyptian girls. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

I was disgusted, but because of the nature of events in Egypt that Summer, I could not contact the appropriate authorities at the time. Mr. Tarnow regularly solicited information about where to buy sex in Egypt from young Egyptian men at AUC. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

Mr. Tarnow was in regular contact with Russians throughout his stay in Cairo. I understand part of his role at the State Dept. involved Russia, however I found his frequent calls in Russian & meetings with Russians around Cairo suspicious. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

Agent George Tarnow told me, in the AUC garden that he beat and raped a 15 year old Egyptian girl who he had bought for sexual purposes until she cried. When I asked him if she had consented Agent Tarnow's answer was "whores." #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

The sad fact is, as a veteran of the Army (75-87), we were not allowed to talk with any outside source (reporters, news, haters, protesters, etc). We could get into serious UCMJ trouble and if those pressed soldiers for comment, we were instructed to send them to the Public Affairs Office (PAO).

A recruiter texted my phone, assuming it was my 17-year-old sons, just 2 weeks after my stepdad died of cancer that was confirmed by the VA to be from Agent Orange exposure. I was as calm and polite as possible; he said he understood and they would not be contacting my family again.

My son is right now deployed to South Korea. He texted us the other day furious. They told him his "ratios" aren't correct. (Shoulder to waist ratio) so now he is required to do physical training everyday after his actual work (he specializes in radars) & needs to be measured. WTAF 🤬

When I served in USAF, they called the program the Fat Boy or Girl. They weighed you annually and if you didn’t meet the standards, you went through rigorous PT until you did. I get that but the label only did harm. Desk jockeys were hit the hardest.

He's not fat....it is this new manosphere BS about the ration between your shoulders & waist. Hegseth has been pushing. I'm so sick of this stupid manosphere 🫤😒🤬

Where is your outrage for this? Five years ago Aug 26, we lost 13 brave American heroes at Abbey Gate during President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden ignored military advice & put politics ahead of intelligence & strategy. The families of the fallen 13 deserve the full truth

Like with all abused people the abuser demands their silence The military under Pete Excess demands soldiers’ silence because he knows our soldiers are being neglected, threatened and abused

Griping is a military tradition, going back to the very first army in prehistory. In this case, it's on target. A fool and his hand puppet warrior running a military where 90% of the men and women who are in uniform are smarter and better humans than those two are.

Thank you for your service, Adam. And thanks for relaying these service members' stories. Since we can't trust the DOD, it's important to hear what's actually going on with them, as well as for these service members to to speak honestly to the country, not hidden by their incompetent leadership.

a country that does not treat its soldiers with respect and decency is not an honorable country. And the MAGA Criminal Mafia is the opposite of honorable.
