In an egregious violation of Department of Defense policy, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel has recorded an ad critical of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while appearing to wear a flight suit complete with unit patches and rank insignia. Wendy Rogers is a three-time Republican Congressional candidate in Arizona, and she most recently lost the GOP primary in the state’s 1st Congressional District in August. Rogers is also a retired Air Force pilot who was one of the first female pilots in the service.
“As a pilot in the United States Air Force, I was entrusted with classified information. We were always taught that you don’t send or receive classified information through unsecured channels,” Rogers says before going on to criticize Hillary Clinton for using a private, unsecured e-mail server to send and receive classified information.
Rogers was also taught that you can’t mix your uniform and politics

My oldest is in the marines, and he tells me how officers, and NCO’s hate Clinton and let it be known too while on base.
The retired Philly police captain doesn’t seem to have any issues walking around in uniform doing interviews. However, I’m sure the military has strict rules about this stuff. Unless the patched were bogus. Then I don’t see an issue.
Isn’t the Resurgent Erick Erickson’s newest hangout?
She’s retired.
She can do what she wants...except...violate her agreement to protect classified information.
“retired” changes the meaning of “in uniform”
Hey, if the elite don’t have to follow the rules/laws ...why should anyone else?
Breaking the rules while talking about someone breaking the law. I give her a pass.

“In an egregious violation of Department of Defense policy”
This coming from a DoD that’s run by queers and other deviants doesn’t really carry all that much weight.
It is.
Why give that fat faced fraud any clicks.
The flagrant hypocrisy really stinks. There are people in prison today for mishandling far less sensitive information than Hillary spread around the world. And these same hypocrites whine about uniform rules?
But when military leaders like Rogers violate the trust of their oath by appearing in uniform to make partisan statements, they do threaten the civil-military relationship that respects the power of voters to elect civilian leaders who oversee the nation’s military.
The author completely neglects the violation of trust by elected officials who fail to uphold their oath to office and the Constitution.

lol...people in an uproar, but gonna vote for Hillary. Go jump in a lake.
Retired means no longer being subject to the discipline of one’s service.
Retired = civilian.
Civilian = citzen.
Citizen = Free-speech enabled, including wearing clothing to help one make one’s point.
I see no problem here. Were Wendy Rodgers on active duty, or if she was a reservist, then that might be different. Until then, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, COL. RODGERS!
If Hillary Clinton is elected, there won't be any more laws, rules or policies.
So the Department of Defense can jam its policy where the sun don't shine.
No offense; the expression is "Go Jump in the lake" (of fire)
Yeah. I saw some Clinton commercial last night about a veteran who said he was going to vote for Clinton because he couldn’t trust Trump in the office or some such crap.
When I saw that, I wanted to yell at the television “YEAH. BUT YOU DO TRUST SOME STATIST, ANTI-AMERICAN, DISSEMBLING, DECEIVING, LYING, TRAITOROUS, LIBERAL LEFTIST WITCH, BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIBERAL LEFTIST YOURSELF!”
Unbelievable. I got angry just typing that.
I usually respect someone’s service, but I cannot see how his experience inside the military jibes at all with the things she has done both deliberately and unintentionally which directly affect national security...unless our military is so far gone, and has been for years, that the actions of someone like Hillary Clinton don’t even raise an eyebrow.
On the other hand, liberals (like this turd who says he is a veteran) bow to the God of liberalism in the same way supposedly Christian liberals bow to liberalism. Both Liberal Veterans and Liberal Christians support words and deeds that are in direct contraindication of their “supposed” values and beliefs.
Are you a liberal Christian? Support people who denounce God and support unlimited abortion.
Are you a liberal Veteran? Support people who think it is just fine to flaunt security at all levels, leave Americans on the ground open to murder with no protection or support, water down the military ethos with PC BS, defund the military, actively support the people trying to kill them, etc.
It all makes perfect sense to those scumbags. God, how I DETEST liberals and liberalism. It is indeed a mental illness.
