Honestly, getting out of an NDA isn't easy, especially if it's with the government. I remember reading about this nurse in a military hospital who got in big trouble for sharing patient stories, even though it was to help others. NDAs are legally binding, and if you break one, you can get sued or even face bigger charges in some cases.

But, there are these things called whistleblower protections. So if you see something illegal or dangerous at work, like in the government or military, the law can protect you if you report it in the right way. You usually have to go through official channels, not just post it online. But if you’re just upset about something unfair (like a bad boss or pay), that usually isn't covered.

Still, you should talk to a lawyer if you're thinking about it. Every case is different. People have fought NDAs in court, and sometimes, if the NDA is too harsh or tries to hide illegal stuff, judges can throw it out. But it’s risky! If you’re in this spot, definitely get real advice. Don’t just trust a meme or a random YouTube video!
