But, that's not to say that it's impossible for some brass to decide the retiree brought discredit to the service (particularly while wearing the uniform) and made statements which indicated the service (or at least a ranking officer) endorsed a candidate and decides an example should be made.
And, in this climate......I think personal opinion should be personal opinion. If she's the first woman to whatever - great. There still isn't a reason to don the uniform and then go make those statements.
It's hard to see that b/c we may agree with her RE Hellary. I imagine the tune would be different here if it was against Trump, or another conservative.
Between now and the 11th we’ll have thousand upon thousands of vets, many retirees, making political statements at vet celebrations across this country. Not ONE will be prosecuted, and not one has been ever.
Yes, I am aware of the 8 year basic service obligation, but we are talking about recall of regular retired AD types, not basic service obligation.
