Most things in life are a matter of the “right” timing. That seems to be the critical point in the psychodrama of First Lieutenant Patrick Kyser. Kyser posted “contemptuous” words against President Donald Trump on social media. As a commissioned officer in the U.S. Armed Services, this is a violation of Article 88 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. If his separation from the Army was complete in terms of day and time, he is good. If his separation is not complete, he could have a stay in Stony Lonesome at Fort Leavenworth in his future.
To be honest, it sounds like First Lieutenant, or now Mr., Kyser, worked very hard only to get a little peevish and act like a jilted high school sophomore. What a ninny!
Time to court martial this POS. https://t.co/y6rTkh6ofI pic.twitter.com/I12Z51WIMg

Oh my. Well, we have all been told, haven’t we? Mr. Kyser just gets all hormonal and pisses all over us all. The egomaniacal twatwaffle has to play out this psychodrama to gratify himself because he got picked last at dodgeball in third grade. By the way, Donald Trump wasn’t doing the picking. Let it go.
Our U.S. Military is about more than Donald Trump or, and this is a shocker, First Lieutenant Kyser. USA First Reporting gives us the details:
A U.S. Army first lieutenant sparked a firestorm on social media after posting a farewell video on what he described as his final day in uniform, using the moment to launch an expletive-filled attack against President Donald Trump.
The officer, identified as Patrick Kyser, has drawn widespread attention after the clip quickly spread across multiple social media platforms. According to information shared publicly, Kyser identifies as gay and says he served in the U.S. Army for 14 years before leaving military service.
Rather than delivering a traditional farewell message reflecting on his years in uniform, Kyser used his final appearance in military attire to make a political statement directed at the Commander-in-Chief.
I know what y’all are thinking: How was he only a Lieutenant after 14 years? I thought of two ways. He could have been in different medical programs in college ROTC or he could have been enlisted and gone from green to gold. That is, commissioned in the Army through finishing degrees and having been prior service enlisted.
You simply cannot be a Lieutenant for fourteen years, nor would anyone want to be. A 2nd Lieutenant I know of started scouring promotion lists for promotion to First Lieutenant 12 months after he commissioned . Then, he started jonesing for his promotion to Captain after two years in grade. Why spend all that time enlisted, getting an education and then commissioning, only to blow it all up in a fit of pique because Donald Trump is President.
Timing is everything. If his service ended at midnight that day, he is okay. If his service was not completed, he should have his case adjudicated and scamper off to jail. But, he should have made sure his term of service was completely completed before he posted a video insulting everyone who has ever served.
The U.S. soldier who violated Article 88 of the UCMJ by making derogatory comments about the President while in uniform has been identified as First Lieutenant Patrick Kyser, who has earned a substantial pension after 14 years of service.

Don’t like the military? Don’t join the military. You don’t know who the President is going to be during your service. Love The Constitution more than you hate specific people in your Chain of Command. Also, deal with your Daddy issues in therapy.

Wfjag says: Sounds like he failed the testosterone test.
Toni Williams says: Yes, he did.
Hate_me says: Correct me if I’m wrong, as I enlisted early enough to not have to figure out all the details of the blended retirement system… wouldn’t he be entitled to some kind of retirement pay under the new system?
If so, doesn’t UCMJ still apply to him, as a former commissioned officer entitled to retirement pay, even after he’s taken off the uniform?
Wfjag says: It doesn’t sound like he could be brought back onto active duty for court martial.
For a military retirement, the person must have 20 qualifying years of service. For people in the Reserve Components, that’s based on retirement points earned (one point for each day of active duty, plus points earned in various inactive duty service such as monthly drills- as I recall it’s 60 points for a qualifying retirement year). He’s only got 14 years of service. Retirees from the Reserve Components generally don’t begin drawing the pension until age 60. However, medical retirees can start receiving the pension immediately – but it doesn’t sound like he qualified for that.
Then, UCMJ Article 9 requires that the person to be brought back onto Active Duty for court martial must be receiving the pension.
There are certain administrative actions that can be taken. Down grade his discharge to General or Other Than Honorable will reduce VA benefits. Give him a Re-enlistment Code of RE-4 will bar him from re-enlisting so he can earn the additional 6 retirement years. Permanently revoking his Security Clearance will affect employment opportunities. While he could challenge those through the Army Board for Correction of Military Records, that’s likely a long, expensive process and the professional Army Officers reviewing the case likely won’t be sympathetic to someone who made partisan statements since fundamental to the military ethos is that service members are to be nonpartisan while in uniform.
You may not like or agree with the President, but he is the Commander In Chief. That’s what separates the US from dictatorships. The Progressives cheering this buttwipe better consider what will happen if the military starts acting as a partisan organization. Service members are trained and armed and generally not sympathetic to woke ideology. There’s also a large cadre of retirees and former service members who, like you, recall their training and know how to organize and operate as a unit.
Hate_me says: You may not be aware of the blended retirement system. 20 years is no longer a requirement for receiving retirement pay.
Hate_me says: At least, I wonder if that is the case – admittedly, I don’t know much about the blended system.
CDC says: He was in his military uniform it’s cut and dried, he will get a inmate number assigned to his treasonous dumb ass.
The only gray area is where he will serve his upcoming 20 year employment.
Wfjag says: If he ETSed before he was retained on active duty for court martial, it doesn’t appear that he can be recalled to be court martialed.
However, if he posted it after his ETS, then there is a criminal statute in the US Code which forbids civilians from wearing military uniforms, and he could be prosecuted under that law.
Joe R. says: Check him for a dog mask.
