"None of us that wear this uniform are free to say anything disparaging about the secretary of defense, or the president of the United States," he added. At least not publicly.

It is a violation of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice, written a approved by the United States Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States by the way), that statements such as these against the President or senior civilian officials can be deemend crimes. So, yes. They can be charged. Probably, if anything with a stearn butt chewing. If any other type of charges, probably nothing more than an Article 15 under the UCMJ, non-judicial punishment. I doubt Courts-Martial.

Exactly! Talking to ABC was dumb, dumb, dumb!
Two-star general from Wright-Patt during Clinton was removed and had to retire because he made remarks about Clinton in Germany!
That is just the way it is!

At least not publicly. During 29 years of Army service, I heard lot's of gripes from soldiers, especially during my last 10 years when I served as a Chaplain. We used to say, "If the soldiers are not complaining, you better investigate because some thing if seriously wrong."
BUT...we never complained in public, and absolutely never talked to the press. Something smells in this latest round of stories!
