I would never want our military to sully their hands with politics.

Our military has needlessly laid down their lives do to the politics and mistakes of politicians.

In modern times never has a CIC gone to such lengths to withhold (HIDE) information about themselves.

$12.50 to remove the doubts in many Americans minds? An infinitesimal price compared to the price paid by the members of The United States Military over these many years.

If the members of the military who are ready to lay down their lives for this country do not have standing can you tell me who has that right and duty?

Your name suggests you’re a vet, so you should know that the UCMJ has restrictions on political activity, especially where speaking ill of the Commander in Chief is concerned. I don’t know whether this LT crossed the line or not, but he is most assuredly on thin ice. We don’t need political soldiers, that sort of thing happens in Banana Republics, it should not happen here. I work with active duty soldiers every day, they have to be very guarded in their comments. Some of them clearly don’t like Obama, but there were also those who didn’t like President Bush and (especially) Don Rumsfeld, but kept it to themselves like the professionals they are.
