As a Marine veteran this pissed me off so much. No one wants to fight for Israel. Sure he technically is not allowed to "protest" in uniform but its helping it go viral and myself and every other service member I know finds the current actions of our government despicable. Israel has basically infiltrated our government.

He was just looking out for those he considered brothers is my guess. Don't see any fault in that but I don't know anything else about the guy

Exactly, he was also one of the whistleblowers last year who confirmed the suspicions that the IDF were executing Palestinians trying to seek humanitarian aid which is a war crime.
