I get it. We've all had to endure some BS training or tasking after a commanding officer, NCO, or supervisor told us "it was mandatory" or it was to "complete the mission." We've all had to roll up out sleeves and do something we didn't find comfortable. I feel like this is different. With the politicization of the Covid 19 Vaccine, the treatment to those abstaining it would be borderline abuse. here we have (in my opinion) a clear case of backlash directly from refusing the vaccine, even after the mandate was lifted. If you disagree I'd love to hear your viewpoint

I smell Shenanigans and Fuckery of the Highest Level here with this story 😂😂😂
No, but I'm willing to learn, AC. Is there someone that can train me to be injured? Is there a special school or something that the Army can send me to? I hear "dats where da money at."
Oh no, AC has joined the dark side…

You're wrong. When courts overturn laws they almost always overturn them going forward so as to not overturn convictions of those not before the court. The Supreme court ruled on this to never make them retroactive because they don't want the govt writing big fat checks.
Military: I wonder why recruiters are having a hard time getting people to enlist...
Also Military: This
The extreme levels of wokeness aren't helping either though. Do not worry though, there are plenty of Hernandez's and Sanchez's coming across the border to fill the recruitment quotas. Quality or the ability to even speak English does not matter anymore.
1 of the field grade officers at was Army: Fort Hood Texas was just busted for sex crimes related to apparently attacking a officers wife in her on post house 🏠. Where are the SHARP classes? UCMJ briefings? Generals & Cols are not exempt from sex crimes 📁.
Exactly. And not just this. Pretty much everything at this point; not only this.
@@Anonymous______________ Who better to send to round up the guns, right? Governments really need foreigners to oppress their own people. They are way more likely to follow illegitimate orders and violate the Constitution.
The DoD deserves everything they get if not more.
An abuse of power by someone with a hurt ego trying to send a message. Someone who will never be held accountable.
And they wonder why recruitment is low.
@@mahaffer71 Surely there's droves of transmissions and raynbow warriors joining!? No! Lol.😅
That's exactly how my last command turned out in the end. They almost got me to re-enlist on hope of going SF. Glad I didn't.
Not until america's horrible corrupt systems as a whole change, at least. When we can get an actually intelligent president and congress who understand the constitution and how laws work, then we can hold people like this accountable. Till then, yep, we're fucked.
Lyndon B Johnson was embarrassed by Kennedy, look how that ended
The military branches clearly don't realize just how badly this behavior harms their chances of getting people to enlist once it comes into the publics view
They want to just draft us. I say we draft them and we run this joint how george washington told us to no matter what their orders are. Dont go die in afghanistan. We can build better forts than the military with less money
They know but toxic leadership at the top doesn't give a Fruck because if recruitment gets too low, they can beg congress to call upon the militia (aka activate the draft which in the laws is calling upon the militia which is how they made it constitutional.)
@@brishanswords4952funny how in that case they would know what a militia is all of a sudden
No wonder the military is short of manpower. It's only going to get worse with morons in charge. No one wants their lives in the hands of incompetent idiots.
@@brishanswords4952 I honestly hope they don't do that. It won't turn out well.
Arnett has been a friend since before all of this bull shit. She is an amazing woman and a hell of a Marine.
She also coached girls sports on Oki and is well loved by both those she coached for and their parents.
It's good to see her getting more main stream attention.
Please folks share this and help show the world what is happening here
I served with her while deployed out in iwikuni back in 2019-2020. I had no idea any of this happened!?! She is one of the most motivated and outstanding marines I have ever had the pleasure of working with
I hope Arnett sees these comments and realizes she's a fucking shining example of a service member. Strong willed, unwavering, and unwilling to submit to unlawful orders. I hope her name is attached to the word "Integrity" for as long as people believe in the power of that word.
Is there an update to Cpl Arnett’s situation?
People wonder why a lot of people get out. People don’t quit shitty jobs, they quit shitty leadership. If you truly cared for the people under you, retention would not be like it is.
I agree. How did they not see that this would lose a lot of trust and confidence in their service members? It makes me mad cause good leadership taught me so much about life and if this had happened when I was in I would have felt betrayed.
Facts.
This is why I left
Exactly
“People don’t quit shitty jobs, they quit shitty leadership” …. Damn that’s gotta be the best quote I’ve ever heard!
The DoD: "Why is recruiting and retention so damn awful?" Also the DoD: "Hey let's destroy this person because she didn't mindlessly follow orders"
"We're doing everything H-man did, why aren't they mur*(&ing for us?!?!?!?!"
What's funny is theres a few games out there that kinda follow what u said. Want you to follow orders, orders are clearly fucked, disregard orders, become hated by those you served with.
I'm 1 step away from enlisting in the army and my God was meps and the dod so excruciatingly stupid. All prospects must wear shitty (proven not to work) masks, regardless of vaccination status. Meanwhile the staff are allowed to walk around and talk 1 foot away from each other without it. God forbid they see you with your mask down they'll try and chew you out. I'm 32 and that stupid shit doesn't fly with me
Its not the DOD that tried to destroy her, its the DODs useless henchmen, aka the Os and NCOs that got pissed off at her for being smart.
And this is just a big one that made it to the news, sadly there’s similar occurrences of unfair leadership decisions where lower enlisted gets shafted because of rank difference that gets swept under the rug because it tends to be on a “within command” scale. We’re lucky to hear about this example because the officer made such a big deal about it to get her sent to the brig.
I don’t believe joining itself is a bad thing, but with how toxic leadership tends to be (and don’t believe the “one team, one fight” within whatever branch, it’s more like a pack mentality between others, at least in my command) now isn’t a good time to join unless something changes on the upper side, which is detrimental considering Russia and China being our main threats and low recruitment/retention hurting manning.
How does one continue to have faith in an organization that treats people this way?
That was my thought exactly when I hit my 4th year of service in 2001. Before then, I scored “true blue” for expert infantryman badge, had 4 AAMs… and was slotted to go to PLDC that November and take my promotion afterwards
We were on division ready brigade 1 and 9 for the past 9 months and weee finally getting off it it one Friday in late September. The next day, we were heading out to spend the next 2 weeks as the OPFOR for SFQC Robin Sage. It’s basically a 2 week camping trip
So, a few of us went to Sparkey’s… this strip joint on Bragg Boulevard. Long story short, the dude driving who was a E-5 and new to the division… he got pulled over for hanging a headlight burned out
They took him to the station to breathalyze him and all of that. He was sober, zero percent registered. We didn’t know that at the time, as we were taking a taxi back to the bricks. We figured he must have had some drinks and got a DUI
We did exactly what we were told to do by our piece of shit 1SG and CO. We were technically still on DRB-1 until noon the next day, which was Friday. We were to do just a battalion run, then released the rest of the day to get ready for Robin Sage the next day
We told the 1SG what had happened… and he… blew the fuck up, and mostly on ME, who was 23 years old at the time. The other 2 guys were 20, and the driver was 24
I was the only one out of the group who got demoted. I was busted from being a team leader E-4P to a E-3. I was so fucking PISSED… but really let down more than anything
The fact that we did exactly what we were told to do if ever in a jam, and then to see it was a lie… a lie used to brainwash us just to make things easier on the 1SG so he could put the fucking to us.
Not only should she be released and her record amended, she should get a promotion for displaying superior moral compass.
Rights violated. Charges and settlements more like it
@@TheAnnoyingBoss to bad you can sue the military, because god knows they would get fucked up.
shit like this is way to common
@@TheAnnoyingBoss haha, rights in the military, that's funny. in theory you have rights as military personnel, in practice the supreme court has almost always let the military restrict whatever rights it wanted whenever it wanted for any reason it wanted in the interest of national security, which can be stretched to justify just about anything
@@Max._Powertheoretically, a military service member has more rights than civilians in terms of the legal system. The manual for court martial offers a bit more due process than the US criminal code. Theoretically of course lol
Or let be released so she can get something better
My whole stint, I was told
"We want thinkers not robots"
But everytime you stepped outside the box you got punished.
It’s designed to dull your mind and remove critical thinking skills
It's the other way around with these communist traitors in the joint chiefs of staff.
I was told a similar thing. Don't be afraid to ask questions. But when I did, I got screamed for disobeying orders
I believe it. My time in the Corps was back when we had at least SOME good Leadership. There were and always will be Turds in Command. But back then (1980s and 1990s), they were small in number and stayed in the shadows for the most part.
But "In this day and age"... they have spread like a malignant disease to infect much of the Command structure. And that is BY DESIGN by the Current Leadership and Administration in Washington D.C.! They DO NOT want Thinkers. They want Robots and "Good little Order Followers" who will do as they are told, Regardless of the legality or morality of the order!
Ah cool, so i'm *not* crazy for noticing that weird double-standard-shenanigan-double-think fuckery as well.
What's even worse is not a single NCO in her CoC stood up to protect her. Disgusting!
Not a single one. Is it because they are all terrible, or is because, just throwing this out there, this account is one sided and might not reflect the totality of what actually happened?
@@KochiJA Or maybe nobody was interested in getting on the CO's bad side considering what he did to the lance corporal?
@@KochiJAor the NCO's don't want bad evaluation reports.
@@KochiJAthen why were charges dropped?
@@KochiJA Do you have another side of this? I saw COs screw over Marines under them to get back at them for refusing to do things they werent suppose to so this story is hardly unbelievable. Plus if they had stuff on her they would have burnt her to the ground in a Court Martial, NJP or some internal admin board but the fact they didnt do any of those things seems pretty damning.
Absolutely nailed the entire point at 15:19. If you are a young person still deciding on whether to join the military or not, this video is your sign from the universe.
Keep us updated. This Command that did this to her is cowardly, petty, and vile. I hope they get shredded in a court case.
Whenever I’m introduced to new troops, I always tell them this:
“There’s two types of leadership in the military: the ones who will stick their neck out for you, and the ones who will slit your throat the moment you stick out yours. Learn them fast and move accordingly.”
Be safe out there.
That is very solid advice. Unfortunately, I think the ones who will stick their necks out have been hunted out of existence through the day to day bullshit until either they saying "Fuck it, I'm done" and getting out, or by getting forced out.
We used to say "Shit floats to the top" and I think that military proverb is spot on. You don't really see an officer make it past O2 or O3 if he is competent and not a "Yes-man". As for enlisted, the VAST majority get burnt out before their 4 year contract is up. Guys who make it past E5 and then decide to stick around for 20 are a VERY rare breed if they are truly good at what they do. Most of them become Officer pets and fuck with their subordinates because a lot of them aren't really intelligent and so they know the power of rank is all they have in life.
I say this all the time, but many Senior Enlisted are like Samuel L Jackson in Django. They'll never be "Masta", but they have a little authority over the rest of the slaves and so that tiny bit of power goes strait to their high and tights
It's sociopaths that drove me out too. They actually believe they own you. They have the power to do whatever they want with us and I couldn't accept a life of living like that. In constant fear of living with narcissists in control of my fate that live a power trip that goes something like this: "Yah, the Marine Corps Order says that, but I'M in command, and I'm telling you you have to do THIS! Now fucking do what I say!" In total opposition of what was passed down by the COMMANDANT! I mean seriously! Who the fuck do these people think they are?!?!?! It reminds me of that movie "a Few Good Men."
@@nocapbussin Well yeah all the ones that would stick their necks out have had their necks slit.
Very astute and solid advice.
Are you serious. You actually say that exact phrase? Wow.
This is why I left the Army. You know, I talked a soldier out of killing himself while on watch in Afghanistan. But because I didn't leave my post or call for someone to remove him from his post (leaving me alone on the wire in case we get attacked), I was awakened to find out my chain was looking into charging me. Instead, they just beat me down until I was done with the military. Then they had the nerve to ask if I wanted to pay $75 for an award plaque at the end of the tour, something all the other NCOs were kicking in for. I told them that was a month's worth of beer money, and I personally didn't need a self-POB, I can look myself in the mirror just fine without having to question if I did the right thing. They didn't like my attitude.
I like your attitude.
I like your attitude as well
Nice
Unfortunately taking care of soldiers and not being an award chaser is not what the Army wants any more.
Heard it said that suicide is the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit… a state of despair for the soul locked in for eternity at the moment of death. I commend your actions at the wire which also explains why you were harassed since ‘…the world will hate you, but remember it hated me first’
I was LE in USAF and when I felt something wasn't right. I advised them to hire a civilian defense well-versed in UCMJ.
feel for her, been in a similar situation back when i was in the army, so here's sort of a short version. sometimes doing the right thing and standing up for yourself is no easy thing. when everything was over my commander came into the mess hall were i was eating, noticed me, and asked to sit with me, you pretty much can't say no so. he told me he knew the whole time i was innocent and he did it just to make an example of me so everyone else wouldn't question him. one good thing came out of my court martial, everyone got to watch the trial at my request and all the seasoned people who were considering reenlisting had changed their minds. many came up to me when the trial was over, shook my hand, and told me they wouldn't re-up seeing what the new army was becoming and they were not happy with it, so the commander pretty much after all had made part of my case for me for what that's worth.
To be frank, if I were you being told that by my superior officer, I would have to tell him to leave the table before I do some illegal shit.
Imagine having the gall to charge someone for something you KNOW isn’t true and telling them TO THEIR FACE that you know they’re innocent and that it’s to prove a point to other people. If shit like that doesn’t deserve a slug to the face, what does?
@@SkaalKeshmaybe the co was hoping for just that. Cops (used to?) will sometimes whisper something in the ear of a suspect just to provoke a reaction that would then prompt an arrest.
@@charlesduncan2051 I can imagine them trying that. I would do everything I could to get that in writing or get someone else as a witness so I could bring charges. If not possible, you could still get with the JAG and work on transfer to another unit for that kind of thing. Nobody should have to deal with a command like that.
Doing what is right is never easy in this new world. You will be attacked from all sides.
Civilian so cut me some slack here... Or don't. If I recall correctly, there is a form you can file for lack of confidence in leadership. Get 50% of the battalion to sign on, send it up coc and to your state senator so they can't ignore it. Said leader gets 86. All I've learned from people in is you need to get very good at paperwork.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lance Corporal Arnett for an interview before she was incarcerated. It's quite an unfortunate that all the retaliatory actions were taken against her - she was an exemplary example of a Marine. She was my assistant soccer coach during one of numerous seasons she volunteered as a coach and mentor. Keep in mind, while volunteering as a Youth Sports Coach, individuals are often required to interact, lead and mentor children of Senior Enlisted and Commissioned Officers. The parents, of some of these children, were the ones seeking to punish LCpl Arnett.
One punishment they were able to levy on her: they contacted the Youth Sports Program director and informed them that [she] was not allowed to Coach any team(s) or individuals due to legal actions. Imagine being someone so determined and invested in the youth mentorship program(s) that anywhere you went, you were immediately recognized by the children of these senior service members. Imagine them taking all of that away. I remember during our interview she choked up and broke down a little while describing this.
Thanks for covering this, AC. I personally apologized to Kat for not being able to provide a strong enough platform for her story to be heard but I'm glad it's out there. Thanks to you, NickyMGTV, ShaneOfficial, TerminalCWO, and everyone at the Pipe Hitter Foundation. I sincerely hope, but highly doubt, that justice will be served. She deserves nothing less.
-E7S
She needs to be promoted to E4. Take a soldier that just wants to do their job, and punish them for it. Such is the world of buraucratic bs that the military already has to put up with.
@@brolohalflemming7042 I'm guessing you never served. That's not how things work, especially in the USMC.
@Brolo Halflemming
She's a Marine, a Soldier would be Army personnel.
@@brolohalflemming7042 She didn't do her job. She was given an order and refused to follow it. It's the military not a buffet line. You don't get to choose what orders you'll follow because they fit your political persuasions.
Echo becoming famous omg
Toxic leadership drove me out. During a career planner exit interview the Sgt asked me why I want to leave I said toxic leadership and then she proceed to agree with me and then tell me how people should respect her because of her rank and how she deserves the respect no matter what ……… yep she proved my point
Yep. I've had officers try to pull that, "You _will_ respect me," instead of paying attention to the fact it is, "you will respect my _rank,"_ and then conducting themselves responsibly.
I was very lucky in that while I've had a really mixed bag of Captains, and about half the Majors were just crap, about the same for Colonels, I was always able to not only get along with but respect the Generals whom I came in direct contact with, and even those Generals I only heard about through requests I made through the Chain. Sometimes, those Generals did things because of policy set by higher that I was eventually able to overturn; a couple of Generals made my list of people I respect by picking up and doing the right thing, damn the consequence.
But God, I acknowledge that I was a *hard* soldier to have under the responsibilities of direct Officer authority!
Post Commanding General calling my Captain in to explain very loudly that he is to, "Get your house in order, because your PFC is [miss-] leading a Master Gunnery Sergeant into behavior and ways of thinking that the Corps no longer condones." Yes, I was Army, and yes, it was a Marine General yelling at my CO so loudly people could hear it outside the building--I heard about it from _drivers_ waiting outside!
My SFCs and 1SGs hated, respected, and loved me. Like abusive marriages, being in a Chain of Command with me.
People that in in power turn into.people where that's all they care about
@@davidgoodnow269I had "leaders" pull the "respect the rank not that man". They didn't like it when I started directly addressing the insignias as if it were a person and ignored them. All that line really means anyways is that you will show respect wether that person earned it or deserves it or not.
@@smithsmith1956 Visualizing that makes me laugh!
Imagine being on such a power trip that you'd say something like that with a straight face though. I think that's what's really impressive.
I’m a police officer as well, and that was actually a pretty good explanation of The Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine. Not really much room for it to be picked apart.
The middle of the story was the best part, I could see where it was going and it was building towards her hitting them with the "No, I don't think I will" not once but TWICE. That woman has bigger ball than all her leadership combined.
Every officer and NCO involved in this needs to be court martialed. If they're arrogant enough to do this to her, they've done it to others and gotten away with it.
You'd have to court martial 50% of the armed forces because shit like this happens on the regular even if it doesn't involve time in the brig.
@@nocapbussin fucking do it
Nothing will happen to them because they are following the joint chiefs communist doctrines (mandates) orders.
@@mc.builder8267 Believe me, I'd be in total favor of it
Frankly this goes all the way up to the Pentagon. My own command threatened me with a dishonorable over this, and there wouldn't be this much widespread ballsiness without the backing of the "Stars" (generals and admirals up top), of which you can't be a Star anymore without political cock in your mouth.
This is why 90% of me and all the bubbas left the service this year. So glad I'm out
Sir, I would like to express my admiration for your courage to the leave what was formally known as “The Service” 🫡
Why/how did you leave 10% of yourself in the service?
Me to
Don't 90% leave at the end of their contract
This is one of many reasons why my generation (including myself) won’t be joining the military any time soon
She'll never be put into a position to do war crimes for Pentagon, because she will stand for honor.
LOVE that you addressed this! I am a friend of Lance Corporal Arnett and this whole thing is such utter BS. Keep spreading the word!!! Thank you for doing this.
I would hire her, she has got some spine.
Well, this is why retention and recruiting are at an all-time low. But don't worry we must change the names of the bases to prevent hurt feelings.

I had something Similar happen to a Troop of Mine in the 101st back in Late 90's. This E4 was constantly getting a No Pay Due and had been on Station for more than a Year. After Numerous Trips to Finance to get the Pay he Deserved only to Get another NO Pay Due, So the NCO's Coughed up Money to pay this E4 and the Next payday the Same thing NO Pay Due, Damnit we went up and down the Chain trying to get this Corrected. One day a Vehicle Showed up and Wouldn't you know it, It was his Congressman from his State with a Few other People, He asked to see the Soldier and the Command. As Anuses Puckered the E4 talked with him, He thanked the NCO Corps for trying to help, He Produced Paperwork that Relieves the E4 from his Contract and He is to Receive his Bonuses and any other Monies owed to Him and He is Coming with Me to Finance and then He will be Flying Home. I about Shiiat my pants, Shook the E4's hand and told him to be cool. He thanked me and Away he went. I remember you Barry..
Thank you for this video. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy when thinking people should have rights in the military. But there will be the people who say " I signed away my rights when I decided to join" or "military needs people to follow orders no matter what or else they shouldn't be in"
This goes beyond reprehensible or incompetent behavior, it is down right malicious, malignant, maleficence and tyrannical. The leadership should be NAMED and exposed for what they really are, petty, tin-plated, vindictive oath breakers.
What probably needs to happen is LCpl Arnett needs to bring suit against the Corps (even if that's not explicitly permitted per the servicemember contract, the violation of her rights/interference with her duties and the command's willful ignorance of the "fruits of the poisoned tree" principle merit a serious legal case), which hopefully the Department of the Navy will settle, and then internally (but quietly) "retire" the members of the leadership involved.
You just don't let them have the first say, release information before they can, remember, you can say anything about anyone, and the majority of us will believe it.
To the gallows but they won't unless we drag them there😊
You kidding me?? Those leaders will probably give each other medals.
Unfucking real dude. I don't even have words. These people need to be whipped in public, shamed, and discharged immediately. Corrupt criminals. Not one of them is a Marine. None of them.

She is braver than a majority of "yes" men in the military these days! The incompetence at the higher levels of the military is off the charts!
The Peter Principle is REAL.
Incompetence in the US military has been the norm since WW2. A lot of young men died because US generals were dumb as shit in WW2.
That is because the Officer's they are churning out now days are not learning Combat Tactics, History of War or the Art of War, they are learning CRT, Transgenderism, Pronouns, and how to wear Leather and Lace and Dog Masks! They are churning out an Army of Gay Nazi Pedophiles!
This wasn't incompetence this was abuse of power
As we used to say back in my SAC days, ‘The higher up in rank you go, the stupider you get.’ That was 30 years ago. Now, no one gets much above field grade without being overtly political. Patton would never have made it past major. Maybe not even major.
Disobeying an unlawful order IS a thing a service person can do. Folks forgot:/
Everyone who fails to do that on the grounds of illegal or immoral orders is a traitor. Even if they're afraid to speak out they are a traitor to their nation. They seem to forget they took a oath and they're bound by it.
Learned that one the hard way.
Not only is it something you *can do* it’s something explicitly stated as a *must do*
Must…. Not shall…. There is a significant difference. That being the military definition. “Must” is something you shall do unless there is negative legal or safety connotations. “Shall” is under no circumstance you can deviate. And you are correct- movement is a must.
So glad I got out in 2001. I refuse to encourage anyone too join any service (military/FED) in it's current state. The wokesterz dominate the leadership.
Went through a PG rated version of this with my CO. The CO even replaced our 1st Sgt. for sticking up for me. Luckily, they couldn't replace my military lawyer.
they finally just gave me my discharge papers and sent me on my way. I heard later that my old CO got busted back to Major after this whole ordeal. As proud as he was about that silver oakleaf, it made my decade to know he got busted down because of me, and there was nothing else he could do to me about it.

My biggest regret is getting out. The military looses too many great individuals because it’s so toxic which turns into a vicious cycle. The good ones leave and the bad ones stay. Be the change you want to see and instill that in you your troops and leave that entity better than how you found it. You learn from both good and bad leadership. Totally understandable though with how you feel, especially with todays climate in the US. It’s down right draining to make all the sacrifices daily when majority of the country despises itself. Keep on keeping on.
Because you have 6 years left.
Imagine if social media wasn't around no one would know about this and she would still be sitting in the brig.
Thanks for raising awareness for this. I got out June of 2020, literally just before this madness started. I had a good command, and excellent staff NCOs, but I’ve heard plenty about how toxic Marine Corps leadership can get. glad I didn’t reenlist after everything I’ve been hearing over the last couple of years.
She’s a POW of her own government.
Refusing to follow unlawful orders AND using the “I was just doing my job” defense. I never thought that would be a combination. This woman is an inspiration.
Anyone who says paper-pushers aren't heroes needs to hear about this amazing woman.
Man, THANK YOU! I wish you could report on all of this sort of crap going on in the services. It's rampant and happens frequently. Unfortunately, the little guys suffer with career crippling, and mentally destroying crap like this but the miscarriages never make it out of the immediate command. Thank you again brother
I was a 4421, Legal Services Specialist, in my beloved Corps. My lawyers would have eaten this case up. They would (Defense side) would be fighting for this case. Just on the Merits you mentioned, the SPCM would likely get a conviction (they can indict and convict a ham sandwich) but on appeal, C.A.A.F. would destroy this case. This needs to be brought to light, thank you sir.
I spent most of my adult life in the military, 1979-2013 and the military did great things for me, what I was taught, what was instilled in me, a lifetime of adventures but I can not in good faith recommend anyone joining the military at this time.
Sadly I have the same opinion.
Same ! I retired 20yrs ago, and from what I've seen; it's not the same military at all.
I was in from '92-'98, checked into my first unit in Nov, then 29 days later being shot at in Somalia. That made up my mind to get out once I had kids, but as early as 94, I could see the change. That's when Clinton took office, stress cards at boot camp, almost brought up on "hazing" charges when a PFC told a Cpl he wasn't going to do something I had ordered, so I made him do push ups and side straddle hops while the Cpl and other PFC did the job. It was 94/95 I heard a LOT of senior staff NCO telling me not to make a career out of the Corps. Even my company 1st Sgt said it wasn't a good career choice any more. Made Sgt in 3 years, SSgt in 6, and I was field radio, not a quick promotion field (meritorious promotions, time in rank to SSgt). The military has been pushing good men and women out for 3 decades now. Now I am a homeless disabled vet, getting under-rated by the VA, getting denied treatments by VA medical. Anyone thinking of joining in 2023 - don't. They will use your blood for cheap oil, and IF you make it back, will crap all over you and deny you the care and respect you earned.
Indeed. I could not recommend more strongly that young folks stay the hell out of the military.
i got a 94 on the asvab, and i am sick of working at the fucking grocery store, do you still feel the same about a carreer in the military?
She needs to be immediately promoted and be held as an example of leadership and courage.
Hell yeah!
She is done, no matter what. It's a shame but true
She needs her own vignette for Personal Courage!
Like LtCol Scheller?
Nah she needs to get out.
Standard Marine Corp Command FU*KERY, and they wonder why they have the worst retention rate.
And folks wonder why kids don't want to serve these days. It isn't just an Xbox or video games. I specifically begged my kid to not sign a dotted line that I signed.
My grandfather who I never got to meet was in the Navy. . Idk why but from what my moms told me about him. He would like you.
I watch you to try and feel closer to him. Thank you .
As a disabled veteran who was infantry. I am ashamed of the way the military has gone.
We let a usurper steal the presidential office in not surprised where the military and country as a whole is going.
aint we all
nothing new.. i was arrested after i out processed and was charged with being awol and got tossed in a dark jail. No lights,no food, no water for 3 days. And then they banned me from base, dropped me off base and took my passport and left me homeless in Japan.. Spent the next 30 days homeless and dealing with the Embassy trying to get back to the states.. So no them being toxic isn't anything new.
this kind of shit has been going on non stop in the military, now its just easier to expose the bullshit. -also a disabled vet but one who dealt with multiple shit leaderships.
@@CatsAgainstCommunism I mean I dont like him either, but Biden didn't put shitty leadership in their positions.
I was denied promotion, schools, (even those within and supported by my own BN), and threatened with UCMJ and jail time over the course of 2+ years for submitting a religious exemption for the jab. And my CSM wonders why I'm getting out....🤣
I got out 10 years ago and every once in a while I think I should have stayed in. Then I hear stories like this and remember how much my leadership absolutely sucked ass. There may be times you regret getting out, just remember the shitty leadership and think about how many turd bullets you dodged by ETSing. That's how I get through those days.
Unfortunately it's always been a thing. When I served in the 90's they injected us with some experimental vaccines, one of which sent me to the hospital. Whenever any of us objected to those shots, we were always threatened with UCMJ.
@@jondurrett9277 man that's for real. I was out in '13
My dad was an SSG in the CNG and was up for a Warrant Officer commission because of the excellent job he was doing at the CA Military Academy. The CO of his unit didn't like him and sat on/fumbled the paperwork for over a YEAR. It all got sorted out in the end... a month after he reached the maximum age limit of 46. I had NEVER heard my dad cuss someone out, besides the "principal" at Mills Jr. High where he taught. (I'm looking at YOU, Sylvester.) It broke his heart. Little did we know that he'd be gone in less than 7 years to cancer, at the old age of 53. I'm 60 now and miss him every damn day of my life.
Was also told I'd get a dishonorable discharge and was told I'd become a felon
Love the concept of the E-4 Mafia. I was a Lance Corporal for most of my "career".
I can not possible explain to a civilian how amazingly courageous this Marine was by her standing up for her rights. Every single person in the chain of command above her demonstrated that they are morally neutered by their refusal to support her.
It’s so nice of UA-cam to show me this video 5 months after the fact even though I’m a subscriber with notifications on.
As a marine that was stationed in Japan during the Covid, it got very toxic. Ninja punches(NJP’s), daily white glove inspections, blatant hypocrisy, HIPPA violations, slander (CWO>Cpl), favoritism. That is why I didn’t reenlist.
Sounds like my experience in japan. Too
To be fair on the HIPPA violations, some of the things that apply for civilians don't apply for us. Not saying what you saw doesn't apply but some of those things may not.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 Pro tip: anyone who uses "HIPPA" instead of "HIPAA" probably doesn't actually know the ins and outs of HIPAA...
@@Guysm1l3y its called typing on a phone.
I got out in 2016. When I heard that the marines had a 98 or 99% vaccination rate I knew this was exactly what had happened. Bullshit hazing and charges applied under the guise of good order and discipline. Obviously they didn't need to kick people out for not being vaccinated, they could just be toxic assholes to anyone who didn't fall in line until they had enough to kick them out for other reasons.
This rings so close to home. Back in the 2000's I was stationed in Okinawa, there was an Okinawa Japan liberty card policy not letting lower enlisted off-base after midnight (Cinderella liberty if you will) when you had your red card and forced to come back on base by midnight; after 3 months of being on island you were to be given your gold card as long as you had no violations and no other disciplinary issues. My unit said, screw the policy and those in charge, we're going to be more restrictive and never allow anyone their gold card. After I was there a year and a half without issues, the commanding general of 3rd Marine Division said: hey people in charge of this unit not following my standing orders, get your sh*t together and issue the deserving marines their gold cards like everyone else or you'll be back to being a butter-bar... They finally gave in kicking and screaming that they couldn't just punish our unit because they felt like it anymore. Boy were they not happy we were allowed the same freedoms as every other unit around and they let us know it.
Just terrible. SMH.
Let me guess 9th esb?
Then you guys went out and had your way with a Japanese girl?
I heard about that. We had some mechs from Oki on my first deployment to the Haditha Dam in Iraq, that told me about it.
@@cplofmarines83 No but I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my unit that was under the command of pricks lol.

The brig? She deserves a freaking promotion. She's got bigger balls than most of her chain of command.
Facts. She has more balls than most 1stsgts I met
Well yeah, the chain of command are a bunch of eunuchs
That is not what the military wants. They want idiot yes-people that just do what they are told to help build the personal success of the guys in charge, at any cost. Basically what happened here is that a 06 was getting shit from other 06s and 07s and had to "do something" to "show them".
They want “yes men” in the military. No matter what they say differently, peace time breeds poor leadership imo
Which is a bit alarming
Funny thing is......I believe she's actually past her ETS date too, by this point. They totally could've just dropped everything and let her out, just like they usually do for most folks they dont want to do legal paperwork to waste their time. So the fact her leadership went out of their way to file all this paperwork, tells quite a lot.
Well then they are doing this to a civilian, and that would make this a whole lot worse!
@@SCARFACE69247 Well maybe. Could just be the end of her active service, and now into what should be one of the reserve classifications. But besides that, if you are accused of a crime when you were subject to the UCMJ you can be recalled despite your status.
Wow. I mean wow. Great video and thank you for explaining this. This is so fucked up and I’m sorry to hear her go through this.
Im grateful that I had an OUTSTANDING Master Chief when I was stationed aboard the USS Tarawa. QMCM Damon Anthony. I will never forget that SOB. He stood up to any officer, including the CO, XO and once to a 2 star ADM. Dude didn’t give AF. Everyone recognized his wealth of knowledge and skill and respected him, he returned it. They dont make em’ like that anymore. Cheers Master Chief, i miss ya!
The fact that this has gone to this point tells me no one in that comand is capable of being a dutiful officer. Complete and utter incompetence. Absolutely worthless people.
Unfortunately or there's two or three that's running it from the shadows... Hope the whole command gets investigated though
Being in IT I would like to understand how she was charged with forgery with her digital signature. The digital signature would have to be revoked and she would have to use a different digital signature for all of that to be considered forgery. Someone should explain that to a lawyer so they can understand how digital signatures work, and why they prevent forgery.
😂😂 Right, thank you! Just like there's "no crying in baseball" ...."no forgery in digital signatures".
It's not about what charges are going to stick, it's about punishing her without being able to legally punish her. They did and will get away with it. I've seen this type of shit done alot in the Army. It's kinda sad to see it also happening in the Marines.
Friggin brilliant, informative, and hilarious! Well done MS!
Can Not wait for the update on this!! Strong work!
I was never in the military but I am in the Fire Service. Our Chief gathered all of us one day and said, “Listen guys, they are going to force the shot. There’s nothing that I can do about it at this point.” We all stood up and said once they do that we are all quitting. Every single fireman signed a petition stating that. We never heard another peep.
Same. Its a shame more people didnt stand together like that
@@ethang6735 everything would have been over much quicker. Unfortunately, I had to yield to wearing a mask on medical calls but outside of that I never did once. If a business insisted I walked out. Luckily, where I live it was “mandated” but very lightly enforced. Our sheriffs even said they wouldn’t be enforcing it.
Ah, SOLIDARITY what a beautiful thing...
I work a security post that I've been on for almost six years now. When the jab came up I told my boss I would not be forced to take an un-tested, rushed vaccine and if I had to be removed from my position, so be it. I still haven't taken an un-tested, rushed vaccine, and I still work the same post.
@@iwasnamedafterbatman6208 I guess if you don't want to wear a mask in a medical setting than you shouldn't be a fireman/emt.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a non MX person be so dedicated to doing her job and ensuring it gets done. She is literally the embodiment of dedication to duty and yet she is punished for it. If this continues we will lose the next war against an adversary with actual capabilities.
Yet she is the very definition of; No good deed goes unpunished!
Yet she put Duty, honor and Sacrifice above herself, so isn't she living up to the "High Standards" of the Marines?

The importance of this case can't be overlooked, I'm really glad it's being made public and certainly hope any similar stories are brought to light, too. It was of great concern people losing their military career for not complying with a glorified flu shot with non-disclosed side effects. People were losing their minds and saying you should DIE if you didn't get the pokey poke.
I hate she's the one carrying the punishment for this madness but we can only hope what she's going through will make serious changes.
Our military and civilian justice systems have been sinking lower and lower into deplorable levels and this sort of immoral hoop jumping to get someone charged and punished has left logic and the Constitution in the mud.
Let's keep this story public!
I think of stuff like this whenever I vaguely consider joining the military.
Dont do it. Its not worth it..
Def agree with the other guy, not worth it.
Definitely not worth it these days
Do you really want to die for this country and what it has become…
Years ago there was a situation in the San Antonio area that had AF OSI rushing across the busy city to a possible hostage situation. The lead agent was given an article 15 by his commander for using lights to get the team across the congested city. However, he also received a commendation (not from commander) for his quick response. My husband suggested he mat both letters in the same frame and hang it in his office.
*Potential hostage taker decided to stop living before OSI arrived.
Did the lead agent have to retake suicide prevention training too?
@@Peter09876- that was really good, lol.
How many years ago? My mother served in fort Sam in 2014-2017, and I ain’t ever heard of something like that happening. Unless it’s the guy that brought a rifle onto a bus, but afaik that wasn’t San Antonio…
@Wolfette Plays it easily could have been during that time frame. However, Fort Sam is Army. The troop was an Airman. If you're trying to call bull, my husband was on the scene. I can't ask because he can't share cases, but I believe it took place somewhere beyond The Rim.
The agent in charge retired shortly after the incident and he actually went to work on Fort Sam.
That story more perfectly exemplifies military life than anything else I've ever been heard.
A dropped charge is not the same as something being found unconstitutional or having been against the law.
When the court said that the blanket denial is unconstitutional, then everything that came from that is no longer valid. Essentially, as you explained, "Fruit from the Poisonous Tree". Something being against the law would like an officer searching your home without a warrant and having no justification for a warrantless search or exigent circumstances. However, she was charged with forgery, when she decided to say no and I'm not going anywhere, they charged her with missing movement and failure to obey a lawful order (the UCMJ article is does state direct order as some might think). Because they didn't have enough to charge her for the forgery, because of the evidence, they dropped the forgery charge. The fruit of the poisonous tree does not apply. As the other charges were made within the scope of the law, and the previous charge wasn't considered unconstitutional. Meaning, that does NOT stop or drop any other charges, just means that they believe they have enough evidence to continue.
With that, this sounds kind of like another story. Navy Seal Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher. Did they need to put her in the brig? No. Does Navy regulations allow it? Yes. Shit, had she been on a ship, they could've put her on a bread and water diet. With all that, I am excited to hear about an actual troop standing up for orders that are wrong and/or immoral.
Oh lawd this is pure gold. There are entire operations that have halted for less than what it takes to make lcpl Arnett stop booking tickets.
I often think fondly of my time in, I sometimes wish I was still in. But this kind of shit makes me feel a little glad to not have to worry about this happening to me.
The problem is well in my POV, the great things the army has done and it's legacy. It's get shit on by modern leadership and going backwards
Ngl, all this shit made it a lot easier for me to convince my nephew that now isn't the best time to join. Breaks my heart a bit. 5-10 years ago I would have been worried but proud. Today, it's not worth it. I'm glad I got out in 2021, even if it wasn't really my intention when I signed up.
Edit - Just want to add that I would have told him "no" 5 years ago too. I wouldn't want to see anything happen to him. But, I'm sure many of us were told that from friends and family. So I know how it goes. But the constant fumbling in leadership and cringe inducing public visage of the branches made it easy for me to convince him to, at the very least, hold off for a year or two.

Theyre nightmare 1984 666ing her. They tell her they took all her charges off and just gave her freedom back as if nothing 1984 666 just happened.
Great work! Thank you AC!
I was in the Marine Corps, also a Lance corporal, 2018-2022. I was with 3/11 India in 29 Palms. I also refused the vaccine. I was very blessed to have direct leadership who gave a genuine shit about me. But our Medical Officers, Battalion SgtMaj, Battalion CO, and so on and so fourth, essentially threatened those of us who stood our ground with court martial, NJP, dishonorable discharges, and more.
And now they want me to come back. Strange.
The leadership who cared or the ones who treated you like a pariah that wanted you back?
I also refused the jab, and all my leadership except squad leader kept telling me to take the shot because they know that's how I could reenlist. They knew the numbers are getting bad.
Worst of all, nothing will happen to most of the higher-ups responsible.
Just like Russia, people "accidentally" fall out of windows all the time. Just sayin'.

Because the Corps has this weird mentality of "any subordinate of yours and their actions is a direct reflection on you." It's highly untrue but it's this weird tradition that keeps on living for some reason. And those higher ups want their retirement or promotion abilities so they'll burn anyone or cut throats to get that promotion boatspace.

i had to stand witness to an NJP in okinawa and the accused brought in several people to collaborate his story and the command still found him guilty. the military justice system is FUBAR.
The problem there is that it's an NJP, there is no such thing as not guilty at an NJP/ART 15 in practice. If the command elects to go the NJP route, they have already decided on your guilt; if you know/believe you're innocent, you have to exercise your right to a court martial.
Courts everywhere are fucked.
I went for a "speeding" ticket. Cop/prosecution showed up with ZERO evidence. Not even the incident report. Gives total hearsay.

Toxic leadership has progressively gotten worse over the past roughly 23 years in the Army, Marine Corps and Navy.
The Air Force seems to been affected less than the other three but hasn’t been completely immune from it.
I’ve served in both the Army and USMC since 9/11, but have worked with all in a joint environment. The military needs to change their paradigm and re-educate leaders on their responsibilities and legal authority.
I PCSed from MCAS Iwakuni in 2020, and from my experience this event is a pretty fair representation of the overall mood of the air station while I was there.
Not pointing any fingers at anyone specifically but it always blew me away at how overly-hostile leadership was there to both military and civilian personnel alike. Perhaps the answers lay in something I am not aware of like overall command mission of the station but it never failed to amaze me how much more chill Okinawa and CONUS Marine bases were compared to ‘Kuni. That’s just my two cents from what I saw.
Seeing AC take his time and explain such a complicated issue with such ease and calm demeanor, is both amazing & frightening.
It’s so weird not seeing him yell his guts out or outright humiliate them.
He suddenly became that awesome substitute teacher everyone loved back in school. 😂😂
Lance Corporal needs a promotion for this. Some people would’ve said “fine, I’m going stateside”. Hey! She stayed and did her job.
If she was an officer this never would have happened
Too moral to be an officer.
She needs to leave, or get every single one of the people who wronged justice pay for it.
