The U.S. military is warning both active duty and retired service members that no “disrespect” of President Biden will be tolerated.
The Office of Naval Intelligence’s Chief of Staff recently emailed service members to remind them of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ prohibits the public questioning of the President, the Vice President, Congress, or the Secretary of Defense, among others. The email was obtained by the Daily Wire on Friday. It reads as follows:
Given the heightened political and social atmosphere surrounding Afghanistan, it is important to remind our uniformed personnel (active duty and reservists on temporary active duty) and military retirees of their responsibilities and obligations under Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Department of Defense Directive 1344.10. While it is vital to protect the constitutional right of freedom of expression for these groups, consistent with mission accomplishment, national security, and good order and discipline, it’s important to remember certain limitations. Namely, uniformed personnel and military retirees are prohibited from disrespecting senior government leadership (e.g. the President, Vice President, Congress, Secretary of Defense, Service Secretaries, etc.).

Yep. They are all great, wonderful Commanders-in-Chief who all deserve the highest respect and admiration from current and retired military - or you'll get court-martialed, thrown in prison, and your life ruined in dishonor because you see them for who they really are and voice it.
What's there not to like about this current crowd running the Pentagon?
Those gold star parents/wives & children going to Dover might have something to say.
Last time we got an order like that was at a commanders call in 1974. We were specifically ordered not to talk to the press or TV media about President Nixon.
Did they issue a similar order when Trump was president?
Sure sounds like a warning shot.
Is it disrespectful to call him Joke Biden?
The Chinese banned the pooh bear. Maybe the military should ban the bidet.
Stolen elections have consequences.
So very telling for DoD even to say this. Biden is so fragile he can’t take criticism? Even from long-retired service members? Did they just discover this article of the UCMJ? Y’know, after President Trump is out of office? I think I would love to see the morons go after Kurt Schlichter. Dan Crenshaw. Ryan Zenke. For Pete’s sake, the man who faced down Corn Pop can’t handle commentary on the incompetencies he’s inflicted on this nation? Pound it, Austin. Milley.
I think it’s legit to caution those in uniform. But non-active reservists? And retirees? These people are candy anuses. The man who faced down Corn Pop can handle criticism of his politics and decisions (indecision?). Can’t he?
Every officer over Colonel should be fired!
CCP isn’t happy having their boy dissed
But of course, the military were free to sh*t all over Trump.
I did my time and I’m not a retiree. So I’ll damn well say what I want to. I used to despise the French as cheese eating surrender monkeys. No longer. The resident is now replacing them as an ice cream eating surrender monkey. The senior chain of command, O-6 and above, to include the joint chiefs, have forgotten they are warfighters, and are now just politicians. I could shit a better resident or any general.
Naval Intel Chief of Staff is a Faggot.
So will those guilty of such an infraction be reprimanded,busted,retired or court martialed?
Article 88...UCMJ.
I served my 25 years and will criticize any of them I choose to, at any time. They are no longer my ‘superiors’.
Come and get me.
I wonder if Article 88 applied to the Vindman twins, or to General Milley?
Very telling they even have to issue this warning to our armed forces...
