In today’s world where anyone can say anything on the internet, there are bound to be some controversial, painful, and cringeworthy takes.
One post that got its fair share of backlash was a take on the United States pausing military aid to Ukraine following the tense meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The poster claimed that American soldiers who supported the pause would be an “oathbreaker.”

Hope that clears a tiny little detail up for you.
