Just saw this on *Instagram...

I don't know if I am allowed to post the link, but basically...

It's a female marine in full gear speaking out against being pawns and asking her fellow marines and service members to use their conscience and defend the PEOPLE!!!

I need more of this!

Yeah and I suppose she could also be attacked by her own troop. Women in the military have historically been in vulnerable positions because of lack of discipline against them being hurt or raped or worse...

But besides that, her bravery and strength in speaking out is fucking awesome
