Retired means no longer being subject to the discipline of one’s service.
Retired = civilian.
Civilian = citzen.
Citizen = Free-speech enabled, including wearing clothing to help one make one’s point.
I see no problem here. Were Wendy Rodgers on active duty, or if she was a reservist, then that might be different. Until then, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, COL. RODGERS!
No, actually an officer who is retired is receiving retired pay, and by federal law is able to be recalled to active duty at the convenience of the DOD (unless disabled to some degree). That said, I agree with her- in uniform or not. Officers assume an office via an oath, which expires only if they resign or are removed. Retirement is not a disqualifying status change.
Enlisted folks who retire fall off the recall list after five years of retired status.
May vary by service.
