Ummm. last I was briefed on the UCMJ covering that (couple of years ago).... he's toasty. That's a spin-crash-burn-die kind of thing.

My thought too. I was shocked he was in uniform. He is an E-4 so he might get his hand slapped. Plus since it was a Republican Primary he may be forgiven since most of the military is Republican.

If he is Active Army and his “Leaders” have ‘nads he is burnt toast. But he may be a “Active Reserve” or Iowa ARNG then we’ll have to wait and see.

That was my recollection as well. One would think that of all people a libertarian would understand -WHY- political endorsements from active duty military personnel is improper.

Not very Founding Father of candidate Paul, is it?

I used to be a pretty good barracks lawyer and I kept up with the regulations and was pretty active in events off base, I was investigated by the CID, threatened repeatedly by the Battalion CO, but I knew that I was legal, and studied the regs and the off limits list routinely throughout the week.

I knew not to wear my uniform, not to represent myself as representing the military, and to not participate in events where guns were carried (which cost me a big personal honor with the Nisqually Indians when I had to refuse a rare invitation). Active duty could not participate in an event that had (serious?, some level of chance?) for violence, and at that time they were fully armed for confrontation with the feds.
