Aaron Bushnell Honoring His Oath of Service to the Nth Degree
Time reported:
An active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, in apparent protest of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which he described as a “genocide.”
This became the main article at Moon of Alabama which is where I was informed about this amazing act of courage and protest. It was the second such act since the 7 Oct Genocide began, the first being outside the Zionist’s Atlanta consulate where the protester survived. So far just one troll has dared to write anything against the dozens of comments in awe and praise of his action. The article contains additional news links and provides this second photo of a Zionist “security” person making sure death would be the outcome:
Aaron was an active duty airman in the US Air Force and as with all soldiers he swore an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution, not the federal government or any of its officers. Yes, you read that right: If the average US soldier knew the truth about the US Constitution’s being broken on a daily basis, then s/he would be obliged to revolt. That’s precisely what Aaron did. My comment was made in response to this:
This is the logic of the true soldier, who is usually forced to sacrifice in the wrong war, and this man has chosen to die on the right side of history and humanity.
Here’s my reply:
Bagration | Feb 26 2024 14:33 utc | 18--
You are 100% correct! Aaron honored his oath of service to the nth degree as the Constitution he swore to uphold and defend is and has been constantly violated since 1945, and very overtly since 7 October. It's unfortunate he didn't include verbiage about that extremely important issue.
The Zionist pimp that displayed the mindset of his Masters was an excellent addition and exemplifies exactly what's happening in Palestine--the Zionists burndown Palestinians and shoot them dead if the try to escape the inferno.
Will Aaron’s nth degree protest make any difference? Will others emulate him? How will other soldiers react if they ever discover his action? And yes, suppression and censorship of Aaron’s protest are happening, and that’s why I’m going beyond mirroring b’s MoA article with my own. Please make this as widely known as possible particularly the aspect regarding the soldier’s oath as that’s supremely important. The best way for any US military person to uphold their oath is to walk asway from their duty, or to just sit down and strike as they are 100% correct legally to do so.

I am retired USAF officer. The officers oath differs from the enlisted oath.
Both oaths pledge “support and defend”.
The officer has no explicit duty to “obey”. while the enlisted oaths include “obey”. Doty to obey does not over awe “support and defend”.
That distinct enlarges the officers’ duty toward the constitution.
Rarely seen!
My wife has online subscriptions to NY Times and WA Post. The NYT article doesn't say much. Maybe they will expand it later.
WA Post had two articles and the latest article describes how the event has spread:
"Bushnell’s fatal protest turned him into an instant folk hero among some anti-war and pro-Palestinian activists. Within Arab circles, especially, the symbolism of a self-immolation is potent: a Tunisian fruit vendor who burned himself to death in 2011 set off pro-democracy rebellions that toppled dictators and upended the Middle East.
Across social media, some pro-Palestinian activists shared snippets of the video of Bushnell rationalizing his decision aloud in the seconds before lighting himself on fire. The captions portrayed the airman as a martyr.
Within hours, the posts collectively had racked up hundreds of thousands of “likes” and strings of comments punctuated with heartbreak emojis and #FreePalestine. The prominent Palestinian-American organizer Linda Sarsour, a leader of the 2017 Women’s March, posted a photo of Bushnell on Instagram with a caption that promised he would be remembered as “a man who risked his own life to shock a nation in to action.”.
It is 2:31 PM EST on 2/26/24 and a few minutes ago Arron Bushnell was the most active twitter post and the Air Force was the third most active. About 20 minutes later Arron Bushnell was still at the top and now the third spot is "Rest In Peace." The last spot is "Rest in Power" and is mostly on Aaron.
I am crying.....
