Soldier criticizing Marine deployment goes viral – The fact that she has been out for five years is left out

There’s a video that has gone viral featuring a Soldier speaking out against President Trump’s deploying the Marines to Los Angeles. In the video, she talks about how those who are serving, and who have served, have a conscience and should speak out. However, Benny Johnson took to X and claimed that the Pentagon notified him that the Soldier in the video was discharged from the National Guard in June 2020.

Approximate Transcript:

We are not pawns for Donald Trump’s agenda. Why now? It’s because the military was called upon against the protesters. In our oath to serve, we serve the people of the United States, the Constitution. These constitutional rights are being stripped and just denied and the military will not be pawns to that.

That’s why I’m calling on the conscience of military members who served previously and now. We have a conscience, we have a mind, and we have a duty, a moral obligation to say “no” and resist.
