republicons are debasing America's honorable military tradition of honor and independence.

Hanks attended at least one Biden fundraiser and has been seen in anti-Trump Tshirts.

QAnon loves to be shocking so I think they targeted Hanks because he’s generally seen as a nice guy. An everyday guy who happened to become a star. It might something to do with a 1985 movie he starred in called “The Man with One Red Shoe”. A fun man taken out of his element movie. Red shoes were a big part of the Q lore at one time.

It fetishizes and exploits developmentally challenged people in a callous, shallow way. It is not on the level of, for example, "Flowers for Algernon".

and disrespect for the American tradition of an military that swears loyalty to the US Constitution

Rather than demonstrating abject cowardly fealty to a draft-dodging golf cheat who thinks America's veterans and service members are "suckers and losers."

Where is their courage to stand up for the Constitution and for respecting differences of opinion? If not, not fit for duty.
