 Major Watson a hero?

Seeing a lot of people call Major Watson a hero for what he did on the Capitol steps.
I don't see it that way.
I get being angry at the administration. I get wanting to make a stand. What I don't get is throwing away a 20-year career and violating your oath to do it, when there was a smarter play sitting right there.
If you want to make a political statement in uniform, the move is simple: call the press conference, announce what you're about to do, and resign your commission on camera first. "I hereby resign my commission, effective immediately, on the following grounds..." Then take off the uniform. Now you're a private citizen. You can say whatever you want, you haven't broken your oath, you haven't handed the Air Force a UCMJ case, and you can run for office next week if you feel like it. Same statement, same guts, none of the self-inflicted damage.
Instead he stood there in uniform, technically still bound by the rules he was denouncing, and got arrested for it. That's not strategy, that's not sacrifice for the cause — that's just not thinking it through.
I was enlisted, not an officer, and even I knew better than that.
Nobody's going to remember this clown a week from now.
I just don't get what he thought he was accomplishing

Nope, he wont be able to leave the country after this stunt.
He will be in prison for a while then labeled a felon for life and wont be able to get a passport or legal entry into another contry.
The man is a moron.

I just think he deserves to be in uniform. He has no guilt. He is built America Tough!
