1. Hell yes! It’s the oath we took

2. I appreciate the sacrifice of them throwing away their career to get the word out. Needed to be done.

3. When I was in the military, it was about protecting America, not fucking it over.

4. To the pussynecked pussygrabber, anyone ,*not him*, is exactly that : a pawn !

5. At least a few brave soldiers not only risking their lives to protect our country but risking their own lives to do the right thing for the country. Thank you again for all that served and will keep serving to protect us from whatever evil lurs outside or within our own country.

6. That career is now at risk. The military is not kind when it comes to representation in uniform. But at least they have that choice!

7. Out of the thousands of military personnel we have, this lone brave soldier is willing to risk it all. The soldier’s name is Colado, and please remember her.

8. She obviously didn’t understand what the oath said…. She’s gonna face a world of hurt…
