What's so great about the Marine at the town hall meeting in WA?

I agreed with everything that Marine said to the Representative. However, before we start building the guy a monument, we should look a little closer. He made a big deal about his oath to the Constitution. I am willing to bet the guy was in Iraq or Afghanistan. (He said he was disabled). If he was, then he wasn't obeying his oath. Neither war was declared and are therefore unconstitutional. Even if they were declared, neither "country" pose(d) any threat to the U.S. Any member of the military who refused to go on those grounds alone, would, in my mind be justified.

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.
