US Air Force sergeant in uniform makes video ranting against US. Who is Melissa Mece?

An active-duty Air Force sergeant in the US military, working for NATO in Italy, is going viral as she was seen giving her geopolitical opinion on US and its relationship with other countries, as she called her commander-in-chief 'the Cheeto'. The member has been identified as Melissa Mece. The video surfaced after US and Israel struck Iran and as MAGA activists tagged Secretay of War Pete Hegseth so that he could take a look at the video and take action against Mece, President Donald Trump's aide Laura Loomer confirmed that the department already saw the video.

Mece explained that NATO came together after World War II and the goal was to prevent anything like World War II from happening again. "A lot of countries didn't join World War II right away. They were like not my country, not my problem until eventually it spilled over, became everybody's problem. It became a world problem and certain countries were forced to get involved because they were attacked. So long story short, we arenot going to do that again. If you fight with one of us, you fight with all of us because we can't allow someone that amount of power in that amount of damage around the world," Mece said.
