I was unaware active duty service members can wear the uniform at political rallies. Ask Defense Secretary Austin if there is an exception to that regulation for Democrat campaign events," the source familiar with the band's inner workings told Fox News Digital.

"Anyone with eyes to see knows that the Marine Corps just gave an in-kind contribution to Pennsylvania Democrats before the midterm elections," the source continued. "And they’ll do so again on Thursday in Philadelphia."

The Marine Band did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

What make you think, now, that the RATS give a sh*t about our military or it’s rules, regs and traditions?

“Completely not allowed per the UCMJ to be at a political rally in uniform.”

Unless ordered by the CIC who rode to the rally on AF-1 and was escorted by taxpayer security riding in taxpayer funded vehicles.

Not to mention their flagrant law breaking.

Just another example of a lack of military leadership. No one in the military lost their jobs over the fluster cuck a year ago in Afghanistan. They certainly won’t over this.

The government and military operate for the benefit of the Dem party.

That is a good point POTUS ordered it, they were just following orders and there is no controlling legal authority./S (unless Trump did it)

Did the Marines know this was going to happen? Story seems to indicate that they did not.

President Retard just doesn’t follow laws or rules.
He just does as he pleases and no one does a thing.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see this coming. Biden is never apolitical.

They can in dictatorships.

The U.S. ceased being a Constitutional Republic long ago.

The current administration is the first one taking completely full advantage of that.

Well, if they didn’t know in advance, I don’t see how they can refuse to play at an otherwise appropriate event.

The Democrat Party truly believes that IT is the government and that the government exists to serve the Democrat Party.
