Claim: Video that shows 40,000 US soldiers resigning and throwing away their medals after they fought in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Fact-check: 40,000 US soldiers did not resign after they fought in Iraq and Afghanistan - FACTLY
Verdict: the visuals are from an anti-nato rally in 2012 in chicago where nearly 50 us veterans threw away their medals. the veterans were protesting the us' war in afghanistan and iraq. there are no recent news reports of such huge number of soldiers  resigning after the wars in iraq and afghanistan. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
