'Beijing Biden Is Not My President:' Troops' Social Media Posts in Spotlight After Capitol Riots

[RAB910]

I always remember that Benedict Arnold was a general in the US Army until he wasn't

Airman 1st Class Sean Brinson wanted his peers to know that he didn't consider President Joe Biden a legitimate commander in chief.

In a post on the popular Facebook group Amn/NCO/SNCO Jan. 12, Brinson pledged to "continue to say 'Beijing Biden is not my president' for 4 years."

"End of god damned story," wrote Brinson, identified as being assigned to the 691st Cyberspace Operations Squadron, part of Air Combat Command located at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. "A letter from JCIS [sic] does not negate the events that stain this election, or answer glaring questions about selective application of law, something that IS constitutionally, ethically, morally, and LEGALLY deplorable."

Brinson has since deleted the post from the group's page.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff had made clear the military's position on the matter, condemning a pro-Trump mob's violent assault on the U.S. Capitol ahead of the inauguration and reminding troops that Biden would be their next commander in chief.

1. He needs to be held to account.

Kick him out, deleting hate filled ignorant lies doesn't end them, just lets them stew on in the silence of his actual approval. He shouldn't be in the service as he doesn't support America, just his KKK vision of whiteness.

4. Absolutely! we need to remove all the traitors and racists from our armed forces

[Xipe Totec]

2. He needs to resign and go worship his commander in grift. nt

[RAB910]

6. Trump said the army was full of "losers and suckers"

only we misunderstood. He meant "losers and suckers" he could exploit and manipulate

[The Polack MSgt]

9. Resignation is only available to commissioned officers

An enlisted member with over 20 years in can retire, but everyone else gets out when the Air Force says so.

Which will happen if this Airman's Chain of Command orders him to shut up and he doesn't.

But the rules regarding shit talking the President are geared towards preventing LEADERSHIP (NCOs and COs) sowing discontent in the ranks by disrespecting the Commander In Chief.

In theory an E-3 griping is pretty normal and it's fixable at his supervisor's or 1st Sergeant's level.

The fact that he published his views and is getting famous complicates things, but until he disobeys an order to shut his fucking trap, he won't be discharged.

3. For the unitiated

This the rank of an Airman 1st Class.



Which is the Army equivalent of a Private First Class (PFC) in other words just two steps above a recruit. Good luck with that Article 15, you little pissant.

7. why does it seem like the air force is over-represented in the traitor department?

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Because it always has been the most far right wing of the military, from the top down.

16. A lot has to do with USAFA

And a lot has to do with the selection process for the Academy.

5. poor baby.. i have some RESIST bumper stickers, post cards and calling cards I can send him

[spanone]

8. well sean he's your COMMANDER IN CHIEF regardless of what you think, asshole

[Best_man23]

10. If he's not removed via Article 15

Me thinks the Airman's next assignment will be some "garden spot" like Elmendorf, AK or Diego Garcia.

[RAB910]

11. How about section 8?

[Demsrule86]

20. My brother ran over an Admiral's wife car when he was in South Africa. And his next job

would have been a medical unit in the Arctic. He decided to leave the service...

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Biden is his Commander in Chief

Biden is the head of the military, this soldier should be court marshalled and booted. He doesn't recognize his commanding officer's authority.

[SlogginThroughIt]

14. they need to be removed from service

I would be kind and give them an "other than honorable" discharge on their DD214. But that's it. He is not only your president, he is your boss. You're fired.

15. UCMJ Art. 134 This Dipshit NOW

I'm sick and tired of this fucking shit.

This fuckstick should be on a transport to the nearest brig, pending General Court Martial YESTERDAY!

A large reason to have laws and punishment is to send a fucking message about what is, and is NOT acceptable behavior.

Start fucking prosecuting these traitorous Asspickles, and you'll put a fucking stop to it.

It's a fucking CANCER in the military.

UCMJ

Article 134—(Disloyal statements)
a. Text of statute. See paragraph 60.

b. Elements.
(1) That the accused made a certain statement;
(2) That the statement was communicated to an-
other person;
(3) That the statement was disloyal to the United
States;
(4) That the statement was made with the intent to promote disloyalty to the United States by any member of the armed forces or to interfere with or impair the loyalty to the United
States or good order and discipline of any member
of the armed forces; and
(5) That, under the circumstances, the conduct of
the accused was to the prejudice of good order and
discipline in the armed forces or was of a nature to
bring discredit upon the armed forces.
c. Explanation. Certain disloyal statements by mili-
tary personnel may not constitute an offense under
18 U.S.C. §§ 2385, 2387, and 2388, but may, under
the circumstances, be punishable under this article.
Examples include praising the enemy, attacking the
war aims of the United States, or denouncing our
form of government with the intent to promote dis-
loyalty or disaffection among members of the armed services. A declaration of personal beliefs can amount to a disloyal statement if it disavows allegiance owed to the United States by the declarant. The disloyalty involved for this offense must be to
the United States as a political entity and not merely
to a department or other agency that is a part of its
administration.
d. Lesser included offense. Article 80—attempts
e . Maximum Punishment - Dishonorable Discharge,
forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confine-
ment for 3 years.

17. It would really help if the military quit blasting fox propaganda all over the airwaves of

all these bases. That's where so many of them get their "news", even though fox is NOT "news". It is pure anti-American propaganda, designed to misinform and divide Americans.

[RAB910]

18. Hopefully the current study will come to the same conclusion

[theneworiginal]

19. Anything more reported on the Capital Police who were showing Trump loyalty during the insurrection?

This is a serious situation, whether it's in the military or police or any Federal law enforcement agency. Loyalty to the Oath, regardless of politics, has to be the way.
