I served in the Marines. Sending them to Los Angeles is wrong.

I'm a naval corpsman and combat veteran who spent my enlistment service with the Marine Corps. I wore the uniform with pride — not for personal recognition and not out of political alignment but to serve a greater purpose: upholding the Constitution of the United States. I've been in combat zones. I understand the realities of armed conflict and the weight of decisions made in that environment. The oath I took — like the oath taken by countless others — was not a short-term commitment. It didn't end when my deployment was over or I returned my uniform. Our pledges remain active and still guide our responsibilities as citizens and former service members.
