The U.S. military is warning both active duty and retired service members that no “disrespect” of President Biden will be tolerated.
The Office of Naval Intelligence’s Chief of Staff recently emailed service members to remind them of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ prohibits the public questioning of the President, the Vice President, Congress, or the Secretary of Defense, among others. The email was obtained by the Daily Wire on Friday. It reads as follows:
Given the heightened political and social atmosphere surrounding Afghanistan, it is important to remind our uniformed personnel (active duty and reservists on temporary active duty) and military retirees of their responsibilities and obligations under Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Department of Defense Directive 1344.10. While it is vital to protect the constitutional right of freedom of expression for these groups, consistent with mission accomplishment, national security, and good order and discipline, it’s important to remember certain limitations. Namely, uniformed personnel and military retirees are prohibited from disrespecting senior government leadership (e.g. the President, Vice President, Congress, Secretary of Defense, Service Secretaries, etc.).

Well I am a retiree with NO problem calling Bitme a deranged babbling idiot that has no clue what is going on, nor what to do about it!
Good thing I’m not in the military.
I would resign. Yes, Biden is that bad
Appropriate action for a budding dictatorship.
What they need to do is to have everyone take an oath of personal loyalty to Der F...that is, Fightin’ Joe. He’ll give those Taliban another whippin’ you betcha.
Servicemembers will have to choose between BidAn, and his jab, and the Constitution.
I have faith the remainder will choose wisely.
Yo, Biden, holding up my DD-214, you’re an idiot and murderer, there I said it.
This military battalion got fired for speaking the truth, 3 years before qualifying for a pension. He knew there was a good chance he would be fired doing what he did, but as he claims he was taking the moral high ground.
Isn’t this already a requirement for the press?
The Biden Administration is the Domestic Enemy. All should be arrested and charged with dereliction of duty at minimum.
Biden can pound sand!
HA! Good luck with that one. 😆
But where was this sort of guidance back when the Bad Orange Man was President? It's the double-standard that pisses me off here.
So the Faux President can hide his Cowardice and poor decision making by banning any criticism from the troops.
Well at least he can’t do anything to me since I’m no longer serving and I served a President who I thought was the worst of all time. It seems I was wrong.
Commie Joe Biden took that honor by a long shot.
Arrested by whom?
They control all of the agencies.
Whatever, Pfentagon. Just make sure you force otherwise healthy troops with the Pfizer jab.
Joseph Stolen is an idiot
Yep, Vindman the Ukrainian is the prime example.
