The truth ... on base or off base, in uniform there IS no freedom of speech. God help a sailor or airman if he voice his views publicly, paticularly in a forum that will reach others. It falls unders UCMJ .... penetration however slight ....

The military individual lives under dicatorship to protect and preserve the rights of Americican’s under the Constitution. It is why the Oath is taken upon enlisting or commisioning and is taken seriously.

It doesn't apply to the military. Never has.

I have had hope that at some point the military might step in to save us from the obamination - sort of like Honduras - but obviously they’re too busy being PC to lift a finger.

There's something seriously wrong with that sentiment. What's next? Taking away guns so that military intervention gets easier the next time around? Fortunately Obama's mistakes can be undone by the next administration.

You suspend some of your rights the day you enlist. Your rule of law is the UCMJ until you get out.

“What happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH!”

- You don’t have such a thing in the military. The term “G.I.” means Government Issue. You belong to the government lock, stock and barrel the minute you are at MEPS and take that oath. Your rights as you’ve known them are severely altered.

And its a good thing that that is the case when dealing with national security.

Freedom of speech outside the gate is fine. Plus, she does not give speeches at every stop so I don’t know why this is even being brought up.
