“We Took an Oath” — Military Members Respond to Trump

On January 30, U.S. Army Specialist Kaza Bradley and Air Force/Air National Guard veteran Dr. Daniel Lee attended a protest against ICE in downtown Los Angeles. Bradley said she showed up because of her belief in the oath she took to serve the country.“I am enraged,” she said, referring to the effects she believes Donald Trump’s policies have had on American citizens.Dr. Lee echoed that sentiment and spoke about the moral conflict some military members experience when government actions appear to clash with the values they swore to defend.“What they’re doing is at odds with who they are as a person,” Lee said.Neither of them could have predicted that weeks later, Trump would join forces with Israel and launch attacks on Iran. Their comments now raise even deeper questions about duty, loyalty, and the meaning of the oath military members swear to uphold.Hear more of their perspective in this episode of The Jackie Rae Show.Check out the Jackie Rae Show live Monday – Friday from 11am -12:30pm PST. https://www.tiktok.com/@UCmgSF_20UxMJI0Uwd0W-BtQ
