She is not a problem for the Democrats, she is exactly what the Democrats need to destroy the Military. Since Tulsi Gabbard is a member of the Hawaii Army National Guard she is “Pushing the Boundaries of the Law” as it pertains to the verbally the attacking the President when in uniform in any capacity. As such,
Major Gabbard has publicly criticized the Commander in Chief, aka one President Trump when she is wearing her Political Rank.

I for one find it impossible for her to attack the president in any capacity while serving as a US Army Military Officer. You are on duty 24 hours a day and your oath of allegiance to the United States of America includes said allegiance to the President.

Yes, she is right now setting legal precedence for Service Members to speak out against the President/Commander in Chief.

She needs to be given the option to Resign Now. She should be Court Martialed or given a Bad Conduct Discharge for her public challenges to the Military Code of Justice and the rules for service members that they cannot attack their superiors.

Wrong. “Soldiers and airmen in the National Guard of the United States are subject to the UCMJ only if activated (mobilized or recalled to active duty) in a Federal capacity under Title 10 by an executive order issued by the President, or during their Annual Training periods”. I’m not aware of her making any statements during those periods.

Rules of the Hawaii National Guard vary by state. Contempt Against Officials does not apply except as above.

Are you saying US military personnel can’t have political opinions until retirement?
We used to get hammered, and I’m pretty sure it was off duty.
