I am beyond grateful and proud of Major Jason Watson. He is the epitome of an American Patriot. He symbolizes everything that the United States military has ever been or stood for. God bless him and everything he and our country stands for.

He's a major in more ways than 1. He's a major patriot. He's a major human.

That's a man who truly loves his country! Not a mask wearing, swastika waving, fake patriot.

He is a hero!

Major Watson has hired a private law firm who will work with his assigned JAG. These funds will be used for those costs.

I admire Major Watson’s honor and conviction.

My new hero ❣️

Escapades by Elaine Soloway's avatar

I was struck by this scene: “The police blocked off all the roads surrounding the park. The national guard stood on patrol. ICE and Secret Service escorted members of the administration. Snipers were positioned on the roofs surrounding.”

The danger sounded more like a jail break, rather than an asshole giving a speech. In fact, this confirms our own view of Hegseth: he is out of his mind, smarmy, and should be next in line for the gallows.

For sure: protect the halfwit Secretary of War (pause for guffaws) from unarmed, conscience citizens mourning the destruction of their country.

Thank God for people like Major Jason Watson and his brave act of dissent.

And we appreciate the humor of police, national guard, ICE, and Secret Service assigned to protect Hegseth. Let's add local PTAs and Daycare owners to his bodyguards.

Alas, their protectee, a member of Trump’s administration, is neither important, nor human, nor deserving of protection. Could they just take Hegeth with them when they return to their various stations? Imagine our joy.

That's a brave man. I wish him well in all he does.

Thank you! The people who are willing to say “NO” are the heroes of the resistance!

Brilliant The two men on the hottest day - each saying NO in their own way.

Major Watson founded @defendersofourrepublic.org and publishes here under the same name. We now continue his work, as a total not-for-profit that has neither manufactured nor licensed nor sold anything. Substack His legal defense fund on SpotFund has plateaued due to the judicial gag order but keeping his actions and words in public sightliness is still something we do multiple times per day on multiple platforms.

Uniform or NOT

Pete Hegseth as a military veteran & SecDef is subject to these same rules, recall to active status, court martial & loss of benefits as well as other civil penalties like IMPEACHMENT for engaging in partisan politics, endorsing candidates, parties or allowing campaign activities of ANY kind ANYWHERE I'm acting in my official capacity. At ANY installation domestic or foreign, any DoD or Service function whether it's a recruitment table at a college or a recall conference of all command personnel.

DoD Directive Number 1344.10 Dated Feb,19, 2008 leaves NO wiggle room at all.

Hegseth is subject to recall to active status, court martial, loss of pay / benefits AND impeachment for these violations. (Links below)

Just wondering as long as everyone has their panties all twisted up with sand.

@TakeThatKat

His final rank was major, discharged Jan 2024 from the IRR.

Interesting. Thanks. (Why or where did I hear that he, (the Sec of War Crimes) was “kicked out” of the Guard? Maybe, it wasn’t true?

Whatever happened then, he still has to be “kicked out” now. How many murders will Congress require before they impeach?
