Retired military can say anything they want about anything except for classified info. I don’t understand the thrust of this allegted effort by the Marxist Onada to muzzle retired military.

I’m not even sure it is a crime for a active duty person to provide analysis of military operations, units or equipment—unless it is classified. In fact, they do it all the time on national and international TV.

There is something missing with regard to this post or it is just plain bogus.

I’m retired US Army. Never signed anything that took away or limited my right to free speech while on Active Duty—excepting revealing or discussing classified info. However, it was generally understood that officer and NCO leaders were expected to be neutral with regard to politics. It is common sense, since an argument could be made that a leader could unfairly influence a soldiers beliefs or vote by bringing job pressure to bear.

I’m a little suspicious of this post.

USAF Gen. McInerny, Ret, (I think that’s his name), one of Foxe’s military analyists strikes me as one of the straightest arrows one could ever encounter in the military. If providing his services to Fox was in any way proscribed he would not be doing it.

Yep ... in the Chicago Way, they just charge
confiscatory and punishing taxes, “referral
fees, license and permit costs,” etc. to
be in the game of commerce.

How the millions of folks tolerate it, I’ll
never grasp.

Nationally, I wonder how many US big cap, mid and
small businesses will actually stay and pay the Oway
tolls and taxes, just to continue in the commerce
game and settle for socialist oppression, a
depressed, hurting marketplace, much reduced
profit margin and increased legal, cpa fees and
insane aggravation from Big Brother.

Could be. I still believe he’s all for himself,
and may be pushing for a statesman/ambassadorial/
advisor position where he thinks his status is
cemented.

He’s a legend in his own mind.

OK, kids pull the drapes, lock the doors, and turn off the lights...Rush is on

They can tell what station you are watching, and especially listening to, by detecting the emissions from the local oscillator, which is tuned as you tune the radio.

So that black van cruising the neigbhorhood is probably looking for "unapproved" listening/watching.

Nothing I can say expresses my outrage over Democrats efforts to suppress the military vote.
