Alan Ritchson pretends to be other people. That's his job. Ballet dancer and American Idol reject turned action star, he's built a career on borrowed uniforms and scripted heroism. But when he steps off‑set, he slanders the Commander‑in‑Chief, insults law enforcement, and disrespects the 80 million Americans who value service before self.1 Now, Netflix drops $80 million for him to play an Army Ranger in War Machine (March 2026), while Amazon's Reacher casts him as a military policeman. Netflix and Amazon execs: Do you vet actors for cop or military roles? Interview families of fallen soldiers or officers before handing Ritchson our uniform? Or just chase streaming dollars from the very heroes he mocks?2
Veterans and blue‑collar protectors see through it. Ritchson pledges to movie scripts, not the Constitution. We pledge our lives. He chills in a $20 million net worth lifestyle; we grind out missions and shifts so he can get paid to pretend.3
The Disrespect: Trump, Cops, and Core Values
Ritchson called Trump "a rapist and a con man," baffled why Christians back him.4 He claims "cops get away with murder all the time," demanding reform because "you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop."5 Wore "Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor." The Fraternal Order of Police fired back: "Useless Hollywood actor." He doubled down: "Emotionally immature... individuals so easily angered... with a gun."6
Mutual respect binds military and cops. Ritchson insults both, then dons their uniforms and carries their weaponry for paychecks.

Stick to Ballet, Bro
Ritchson met his wife in ballet class, pirouetted on Colbert, stripped on Idol.9 Fine. But stop wearing our uniforms for cash while slinging insults at hard working New Mexicans. The CINC bears burdens beyond "peabrain" claims and is leading one of the most significant operations in US history. Your daily decisions pale in comparison to the critical thinking he executes. Bad actors roam the real streets; protectors—not pretenders—stop them. Stay in your lane... Your military brat status gives you military brat status, nothing more. Using it for cred looks bad to those of us that served.
God bless America's blue‑collar guardians. Demand better from Hollywood. Remind them that AI is swallowing the entertainment profession whole so update those Linkedin pages or start apologizing for your woke BS if you want NM dollars.
