Dressed in his civvies, he would have been just fine as long as he didn't identify himself as an Air Force officer. However, when in uniform, you represent the branch, the military, and the nation, and your actions MUST be in line with, and subservient to, the orders from the Commander-in-Chief. In uniform, you are no longer the individual, you are an emissary of our government's arm of power and you must act accordingly.

I can promise you that there are a LOT of officers and non-comms who felt very strongly against the direction Clinton, Obama, and Biden were taking us, but they did NOT act out in uniform as being in direct opposition to the elected Commander-in-Chief.

"Rare charges"

You know WHY they're "rare"?

Because military personnel know the rules and are usually not stupid enough to do what he did.

CNN is trying to sell this as "rare charges." They put a lot of emphasis on that, like it's unusual. What's rare is an active duty service member protesting their Commander in Chief in uniform because every military member knows that you will be court-martialed for it. Kiss your rank and pension good bye, here's your big chicken dinner.

If he was active duty and in uniform, he should not do that. Thus he reaps the whirlwind.

Translation – he’ll be running for Congress as a Democrat in 2028.

I'm as big a free speech advocate you'll find anywhere on this site, and I'm no fan of Trump nor did I serve in the military. All that being said, it's no different than disrespecting your boss at work. The military doesn't deal in black and red ink, they deal in valor and sacrifice with very real consequences when things aren't working in the chain of command. This is 100% warranted.

And FWIW I agree with him. Trump should be shown the door for gross negligence.

Absolutely, he will have a future in Democratic Party politics. He is a front line footsoldier in the war against MAGA.

* A court marital
* A dishonorable discharge after 17 years in the USAF with an official loss of rank, pay, and all benefits.
* Staring at multiple years of breaking rocks in Leavenworth.

His defense attorney, Chris Mutimer, stated that Watson stands by his actions, asserting that he did so out of a belief in his constitutional oath and to show others who may feel isolated that they are not alone.


So even his defense attorney admits he did it for his feels.

I was thinking that he was hoping the The View, a bunch of blue haired politicians and AOC were going to come to his rescue. The nation would rise up for him. The internet would go viral.

But

This guy’s backstory is probably interesting. If he’s still a major after 17 years, he’s been creating headaches for quite some time. His discharge without a retirement was probably already pending and this is a delusional attempt to audition for his next adventure.
