WTF?
These peeps are allowed to have public political positions?
In the “olden days” (not too long ago), military officers stayed out of anything reeking of or suggestive of politics.
I guess 8 years of Obama has seen the elevation of NUMEROUS perfumed princes consumed by bureaucratic political correctness.

...DOD has a longstanding policy of encouraging members to carry out the obligations of citizenship, officials said. DOD encourages its military and civilian members to register to vote and vote as they choose, they said. Both groups can sign nominating petitions for candidates and express their personal opinions about candidates and issues.
However, officials emphasized, they can do so only if they don’t act as, or aren’t perceived as, representatives of the armed forces in carrying out these activities...
...The bottom line, officials said, is that they should steer clear of any activity that may be reasonably viewed as directly or indirectly associating DOD or the military with a partisan political activity...
