Thanx for the link, despite your venon, your the first one on the thrad to try to "educate" me. When General Pershing walked through our camp he only told us to be strong in battle.
I didn't see anything that addresses the rule prohibiting demonstrating or joining this group. While it makes sense, I am asking to see the rule in writing. I'm not much for getting in line just because someone else says so.

In the military all laws are not codified some are called "lex non scripta" or unwritten common law. I'm not sure what this branch of the service is going to say, but in the Army the punishment during wartime would be severe. The standard for someone in the military is much higher than the civilian.
All laws do not have to be codified in order for them to be punishable...this is a relatively new trend that started with the statist interpretation of laws in the last century...especially during Clinton's time in office.
I hope the military never discards this tradition.
