If the dummie pandering Presidential candidates don’t immediately leave that “convention,” I hope the RNC gets some spicy video of the incident for use during the general election campaign next year.
The “company you keep” says more about you than anything else.

Can’t wear the uniform and play in politics. If he was in civies, it would have been OK.

Of course - the rules are different if you are John Kerry making up war crime lies in front of congress and the world in uniform...

Sticky subject... I’m not sure that I would have attended the meeting in uniform, or any protest/counterprotest for that matter. But you would think that these people would have the courage to at least hear him out.
As for the Weasel... F him.

He cannot make a point in uniform?
How can DK'ers make their argument out of uniform?
At least this woman is properly tin-foily attired...

JVB is correct. Political speech is prohibited while in uniform.

Thou shall not wear military uniform to politcal rallies, protest, meetings...Etc while on active duty. As for names, chain of command, unit, etc is none of the panel's business.

Here’s the Navy Uniform Regs
“(4) For Members of the Naval Service. The Secretary the Navy supports the following:
(a) Exercising the rights of freedom of speech and assembly does not include the right to use the inherent prestige and traditions represented by the uniforms of the naval service to promote privately held convictions on public issues.
(b) Members of the Navy and Marine Corps, including retired members and members of reserve components are prohibited from wearing uniforms of the naval service while attending or participating in a demonstration, assembly, or activity knowing that a purpose of the demonstration, assembly, or activity supports personal or partisan views on political, social, economic, or religious issues, except as authorized in advance by competent authority; or incident to attending or participating in a bona fide religious service or observance”

Kindler, gentler conservatism is not going to cut this election cycle.
Republican Party needs George S. Patton, not Miss Manners running the campaign.

Shows me all I need to know about these folks. Here you have a guy in uniform that may be a certified crazy Kos head, but the minute he stood up wearing it, he was the enemy.

Having worn the uniform myself, I seem to recall that we were not allowed to actively particiapate in political “campaigning”.
I don’t know the full context of the soldiers statement, but simply stating “the surge is working” seems to me to be an apolitical stance.

It would have really made the point if he stripped to his undergarments and finished his discussion.

Censorship as usual from the left.
