“From among you will rise a snake-eyed street thug from Chicago” Saul Alinsky
I only have this comment. “ The directive was not to be seen in, Uniform reading materials, not that you could not read them!
You could be seen reading anything you wish but not in Uniform. What you you think of a soldier reading the Communist Manefesto in Uniform at the bus stop? Some would think that this person was not with our Republic and will not defend our Nation when needed, some may think he is just expanding his mind! The Uniform expresses that you are an American that will defend it’s people above all costs! This is not about the content of a publication in hand, it is about the public display! All can complain all they want to, but, I remember my oath when becoming a valiant soldier designated to protect and defend the the Great Nation we call our home. And not to desecrate that Uniform in anyway. It’s only clothing but it is the heritage of all that came before you and those that have provided life liberty and freedom of all those trusted in your care!”
