Looks like he also received a mandatory deployment order to "israel" to directly participate in the genocide before he decided to go through with this.

That’s not a deployment order, and I feel this has been taken out of context by people unfamiliar with the military. I can’t say with certainty what this is, but it could be guidance like “don’t wear your uniform in public if you’re in Israel”. It wouldn’t have no restrictions on releasing it if it were anything important.

To say this is evidence of mandatory deployment orders is ridiculous.

Yeah it's unclassified. Plus it's not even a secret that us troops are in Israel, biden sent like 2000 in November or December. It would be interesting news if they were fighting in Gaza, but I'm definitely going to need evidence before I even entertain that idea.

This document as evidence is particularly weak because the air force doesn't fight on the ground.

He did say he wasn’t going to be a part of the genocide, so that checks out
