I am actually at Fort Hood with my husband, he is in the Army. I mentioned to him gettting some troops to go out to Crawford, and he told me they can't. While on active duty, soldiers are not allowed to participate in any kind of protest, no matter if it is in support of them or not.
But I will be there!!!!

Excellent news that you're coming! Grab a bunch of military wives to join you if you can! This is going to be soooo much fun!

AND GOD BLESS OUR BRAVE TROOPS!

Bring him along, that's just not true. They can't come in uniform, and they can't speak for anyone but themselves. They also can't endorse any politician or party, because that is partisan activity which they are forbidden by law from engaging in, as IIRC, are all federal civil servants Other than that their first amendment rights are intact. Have him call over the JAG office and get the straight skinny.
