Absolutely not!

Bring Hegseth up on charges. This is an act of hostility of the First Amendment.

This is a highly competent airman with sincere concerns for the military, this country, and his peers. He is allowed in every way possible to act as a whistleblower when there are illegal orders and/or danger to our country through malpractice of military standards.

Whistleblowing is not covered anywhere in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Whistleblowing is not contemptuous speech. The exercising of malicious prosecution under the UCMJ is just as serious, even more so, as the civil penalties.

Whistleblowing to protect the very country he is defending is vital to the USA Constitution. There is absolutely no misunderstanding about the warning Airman Major Watson told to the public. They are our men and women that put their lives on the line everyday and if ANY margin of safety is violated when it should not be and endangers these magnificent Americans the public not only should know, it has a right to know. 

I suppose every person on the USS Abraham Lincoln that told their families what deplorable conditions they faced should be charged as well.

The facts are very, very plain. Hegseth is in his capacity as Secretary of Defense because the president insists on it. Hegseth is the worst Secretary of Defense this country has every witnessed. He endangers the military with his FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT EVERY MILITARY MOVEMENT IS AN EMERGENCY.

A U.S. airman (click here) says he is facing charges for criticizing President Trump over the Iran war, which his attorneys believe to be among one of the only instances an officer of his rank has been charged under the uniform code of military justice for contemptuous words against officials.

Major Jason Watson, 40, has been detained twice in recent weeks. On one occasion, he called for Mr. Trump's impeachment — while in uniform at the U.S. Capitol.

A spokesperson for the Air Force on Tuesday confirmed that he was charged with three violations of Article 88, including for contempt toward Officials. The violations are disobeying orders and conduct unbecoming an officer....

Israel has a chronic state of emergency since it was originally authorized. Israel's state of emergency is NOT the state of emergency of the USA nor will it ever be.

It is a basic assumption pertaining to emergency arrangements in democratic

regimes that the state of emergency will be relatively transitory. This

transience is one of the justifications for granting far-reaching powers to the

executive authority to allow it to cope with the exigencies of the emergency,

even if the measures employed by it in that process entail the infringement of

constitutional principles of the legal system including an impairment of

human rights. On occasion, the measures are the result of exaggerated

assessments of the risks facing society, assessments which cause the public to

be willing to temporarily tolerate these infringements. As Justice Brennan of

the United States Supreme Court commented in relation to the American

experience:

The sudden national fervour causes people to exaggerate the security risks

posed by allowing individuals to exercise their civil liberties and to

become willing 'temporarily' to sacrifice liberties as part of the war

effort. 

"Free peoples", says Carr, "when they temporarily surrender freedom, will

expect to see their inheritance restored to them when the storm is over"....
