Roy -- the dull oneoldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.socialJul 2, 2026, 10:27 PMSomeone who knows how to do it should set up a fund to receive donations to help Major Watson with legal expenses and other costs. If the scum can spend billions of our dollars protecting and rewarding people for attacking America on January 6th, then those who are actually American patriots should (I hope) be willing protect and reward military people who actually stand up for America.

Laurie Kaylauriekay9@mastodon.socialJul 3, 2026, 3:27 AM@VeroniqueB99 I was awed by his action. It is so rare to see this level of courage. I hope it is contagious.

@lauriekay9 👍 💯
I've very disappointed with my fellow Americans. Cowards pretty much all of them.😔 
Tormodairwhale@beige.partyJul 3, 2026, 5:49 AMMe, puzzled about the grounds for arresting a citizen for exercising free speech, found that US uniformed personell have none. Also, he was arrested for "being an inconvenience". (A single man does not a crowd make, nor could he obstruct anything while standing at the chain link fence.)
Brave? Sure. Free? Not so much. However, FINALLY someone acting on their oath to protect the constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic.
Excerpts from what appears to be a human written piece below:
Officers arrested Watson under 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing and Incommoding.
The spokesperson highlighted that there are other areas on the Capitol where demonstrating is allowed.
"The question of whether or not his sacrifice, his risk of prosecution, his potential forfeiture of the benefits of an entire [over 20] year career in the military is worth it is whether you follow through with the pressure that is needed on Congress to impeach, convict and remove," Denson said, calling on the audience and fellow protestors.
Active-duty service members are strictly prohibited from engaging in partisan political activities, especially while in uniform, per the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Those who do can face criminal or administrative punishment, such as imprisonment, loss of pay, dishonorable discharge and more.
"Service members must comply with all laws, regulations and policies governing conduct and the wear of the uniform," an Air Force spokesperson told Military Times. "As commanders verify inappropriate actions, they are responsible for taking the necessary administrative and disciplinary actions to hold service members accountable."

@airwhale @VeroniqueB99 Challenging illegal orders of your superiors is the legal duty of soldiers, I'm pretty sure...
- Tormodairwhale@beige.partyJul 3, 2026, 10:07 AM
Let’s hope the defence succeeds in that argument.
WesDymwesdym@mastodon.socialJul 3, 2026, 2:51 PM@airwhale What argument? What illegal order(s) did he challenge here?
- WesDymwesdym@mastodon.socialJul 3, 2026, 2:50 PM
@drchaos What illegal order(s) is he challenging here?
- VeeVeroniqueB99@mastodon.socialJul 3, 2026, 6:30 PM
@airwhale yup 👍 💯
