Military whistleblowers are increasingly speaking out against the harm imposed upon the branches they proudly serve. Consider the stories of Navy officer Lt. Ted Macie and Fort Liberty soldier George Lincoln (a pseudonym).
In both examples, their high regard for the Constitution and patriotic duty to the nation rose above their concern for retaliation and retribution. Undoubtedly, there are many others who are on the brink of taking a similar step but don’t know where to begin or what to expect.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Lt. Col. Ryan Sweazey (USAF-Ret.), the founder of Walk the Talk Foundation, a group that advocates for and protects whistleblowers. The former F-16 fighter pilot once served as Inspector General (IG) in the Air Force warns about the corruption of the Department of Defense (DOD) and IG system that prevents many whistleblowers from coming forward.
