A video of this soldier has gone viral, with BreakThrough News reporting that she joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas on June 9 after President Donald Trump deployed 700 Marines to Los Angeles to quell the riots.

The good news is there's no chance of her being deployed to L.A. — DOD Rapid Response confirmed that she was discharged from the Army Reserves in 2020. So if BreakThrough News is correct, she's wearing her old uniform to protest Trump deploying Marines to L.A. five years after her discharge.
The woman in this video was discharged from the Texas National Guard on June 5th, 2020.

She does not speak for nor reflect the U.S. Army. pic.twitter.com/pX9ASE20kw
Correction: This individual served in the U.S. Army from November 2010 to August 2014 and was then in the Army Reserves from August 2014 to June 2020.

That's a shame.
So she was cosplaying.

Discharged in 2020 but still larping in camo like it’s Call of Duty: Woke Ops.

Another brainwashed nutjob.

Yes, but what we all want to know is if she will be punished?
— H. Huntsman (@HHuntsmanWrites) June 11, 2025
Or barring that, be asked to make a public apology?
If she is not, this behavior might be used to escalate civil unrest. pic.twitter.com/ytn0TQWFr4
If she receives any military benefits, they should be revoked, including taxpayer funded healthcare.

She needs to be charged and the family she proclaims are illegals, deported. Should be easy enough to find.

We have her name … it's embroidered on her uniform. People have been digging and say she's a former intel analyst, and her mother is an illegal alien.
She’s disparaging the uniform! Bring her back and prosecute her!

Isn’t she impersonating a military person?
— Sharon McCutchan (@SharonMcCutchan) June 11, 2025
DoD Instruction 1334.01 restricts wearing uniforms in ways that imply official endorsement of a cause or bring discredit to the military.

Hold her accountable!
It is considered dishonorable among the veteran community to hold on to the uniform after discharge and then wear it in an attempt to make people think you are still active.
— Casey Murph (@caseymurph1) June 11, 2025
Title 18, United States Code, Section 912 : Individuals found guilty of impersonating active duty military can be fined under federal law and the penalty can include imprisonment for up to three years.

Shouldn’t this be stolen valor or adjacent to stolen valor?
— Bo (@dittletv) June 11, 2025
She's claiming that military personnel are obligated to follow their conscience and resist any orders from the Commander-in-Chief? She doesn't seem to understand how the chain of command works; that's probably why she was discharged.
