“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.
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)
President Retard just doesn’t follow laws or rules.
He just does as he pleases and no one does a thing.
“Unless ordered by the CIC who rode to the rally on AF-1...”
As soon as the campaign part started the band should have packed up and hit the bus. Until they are actually participating in the campaign, they are not in violation of the Hatch Act.
Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 4.1.2.1
“All members of the armed forces, including active-duty members, members of the reserve components not on active duty, and retired members are prohibited from wearing military uniforms at political campaign or election events.”
Civil law title 5:
https://osc.gov/Documents/Hatch%20Act/Laws%20and%20Regulations/Statutes/5%20USC%207323.pdf
§ 705.33 Participation by Armed Forces bands, choral groups, and troops in the public domain.
Sec 4
(4) Armed Forces units may not be authorized to participate when:
(i) The event directly or indirectly endorses or selectively benefits or favors (or appears to do so) any private individual, commercial venture, sect, fraternal organization, political group, or if it is associated with solicitation of votes in a political election.
So there are DOD directives and civil laws that says Biden does not have the authority to have the band in performance where, during, or after the political actions are taking place ht can be construed as a performance for the event. And to protect the integrity of the military they should have packed up and left. Anyone of authority who tries to stop them is guilty of a crime. If the original intent of their playing was to enhance the political parts, then whoever asked them to go there is also guilty.
