Well.... Article 88 UCMJ prohibits “contempt toward elected officials” by commissioned officers. I first heard it about when I came back into the Army Reserve after a break in service, and was warned by my commander to restrain my anti-Clinton remarks while on duty.
Simply refusing to stand and applaud the POTUS wouldn’t fill the bill, IMO.
BTW, Article 88 was published in 1867 (not 1993 as some believe) and was intended to prevent Union generals with presidential ambitions from criticizing the incumbent President, who at the time was the unfortunate Andrew Johnson.
Simply refusing to stand and applaud the POTUS wouldn’t fill the bill, IMO.
What you describe is a rational interpretation, however, with this Regime a more “fast and loose” interpretation would not surprise me.
Recognizing that they are unable to express their contempt for one so ably UNFIT to lead. I will be their voice. Obama is the man who NEVER should have been elected-Should never have been allowed to take Office— WHO should NEVER have seen his agenda passed.He is A LIAR,and a Deceiver, and a Fraud—and when America cared about the Office of the President -one like him would have been IMPEACHED for proposing such immoral acts -then taken out and tarred and feathered-and run out of town on a rail for deceiving the people.
