I know Mast would claim that he wore the uniform as a display of solidarity. The problem is the one you mention- his oath is to the constitution and his first loyalty needs to be to his constituents and his country. The War in Iran was sold to Trump by Netanyahu to serve his own purposes and has been harmful to American interests from day one. Mast is one of the few people in a position to hold the administration accountable and prevent further damage but appears to have discarded his loyalty to both the constitution and the American people.
