Yes, but the section that specifically says what members of the armed services are NOT allowed to do, begins:
Prohibited political activities (Section 4.1.2). A member of the Armed Forces on active duty shall not:
1. Participate in partisan political fundraising activities, rallies, conventions, management of campaigns, or debates. The prohibition is broad and does not depend on whether a member is in uniform or even whether an inference of official endorsement can be drawn;
Please show me, specifically, where it says what reservists are not allowed to do, and what the applicable punishment is. There's a reason this guy wasn't busted in rank or anything (though I guarantee his chain of command probably said "please don't do that").
