While social media has mostly been smitten with Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver for his appearances in Star Wars, Marriage Story, and his stints on Saturday Night Live, some people turned against the Hollywood star because of his military service with the United States Marine Corps. A Twitter hashtag claimed #AdamDriverIsOver because some users disagreed with his reasons for serving in the military, but it didn’t take long for fans to come to the actor’s defense.

All of it stems from Driver’s decision to join the Marines and people taking seemingly out of context quotes and reading way too deep into offhand information to distill a person’s entire life story down to one decision, and of course fans getting entirely too worked up over what other people are saying about their favorite celebrity.
It all comes out because Drive ended up joining the United States Marine Corps shortly after the September 11th attacks in 2001, serving nearly three years in the Marines before being medically discharged due to a dislocated sternum. After his time in the Marines, Driver got into the Julliard School and…well, the rest is history. An iconic run on Star Wars later and now he’s one of the most sought-after actors in all of Hollywood.
