With the President poised to strike in Syria and the Congress set to vote on the issue the week of Sep. 9, the debate about U.S. military intervention in the two-year-old civil war is already happening amongst the American public.

The list, Ping

Rebellion in the ranks...Obama to purge again.
That was my first thought, too...
F YEAH!
Freedom costs a buck o’ five.
To justify the return of the Draft.
Now, that’s crafty!
Totally inappropriate. He shouldn’t be making political statements in uniform.
“Totally inappropriate. He shouldn’t be making political statements in uniform.”

He’s hiding his face for a reason, he knows he shouldn’t be doing this.

He’s hiding his face for a reason, he knows he shouldn’t be doing this.”

He has every right to speak out against illegal activities of his commanders including his Commander in Chief.
The armchair generals who want a war should hike up their big girl panties and go fight on their own dime. Our soldiers shouldn’t fight for Al Qeada and the country is flat ass broke.
Question: Why do so many of these notes have the exact same text?

“You wrongly assume it is wrong. You also wrongly assume he is hiding his face in some kind of shame. He is hiding because he can be arrested.”
I think he’s hiding his face because he’s violating the UCMJ, not due to shame.
He does not have the right to protest in uniform, he signed up for service.
What illegal activities are you speaking of?
