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.).

But where was this sort of guidance back when the Bad Orange Man was President? It’s the double-standard that pisses me off here.

THIS.
The way to fight disrespect is to do respectable things.
Joe Stolen, or more exactly the oligarchy behind him, is concentrated on doing things that bring great disrespect on America, the Office of the Presidency, and the entire chain of command of our military services, forced to give lip service to the civilian authority placed over them.
General George S. Patton, US Army, was a man given to ignoring orders when he saw an opportunity to make huge inroads. He crossed the Rhine and started his army rolling toward Berlin, eventual objective Moscow, when the orders came over radio to stop and turn back. Patton, did, reluctantly, but swore that if ever he had another opportunity for a breakthrough, he would smash all his radios and just keep on going. It would have shortened the war by most of a year. And the US would have occupied Warsaw instead of Frankfurt.
Give me liberty or give me death... Patrick Henry
Likewise.
A tip of the beret to you Top.
I’m not in the military: no elected or appointed Democrat deserves respect or honor of any sort.
… not many Republicans in office do either but that’s a separate matter.
Solzhenitsyn was a Russian officer in ww2. He told a Stalin joke by the camp fire one night. Next thing he knows he’s in a cattle car headed far East.
You served under Jimmy Carter too, I see. LOL.
Don’t lose track of the big picture. Biden isn’t the one making the decisions. He’s just taking the arrows for the ones doing the damage.
Oh, so why then could they say anything they wanted about Trump?
Didn’t Vindman testify against Trump? Was he reprimanded? I think not. He was praised. They are f’n hypocrites.
Somebody supported these stupid sons of bitches Democrats.
The disrespect is not being directed toward Biden. It is directed at the military leadership that let it happen.
Gutfield made the point that democrats thought they could hide and protect Biden long enough to beat Trump in 2020, but now must come to grips with a demented President. No regard for our liberty, just pure power.
Joe has finally been exposed. Hence the “urgency” to ram Marxism and globalism down our throats.
Evil.
Of course they are...
For the word hypocrite the dictionary will tell you to
See Democrat
And I thank you for your service, shipmate and WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!!!!
What do you expect from the Pentagram?
Officer: Sir, General Alexander has heard we’re moving west. He says “stop immediately. Go no further than Agrigento..” Repeat: “stop immediately.”
Patton: That’s what you think it says. I think it was garbled in transmission. Ask them to retransmit the message, and take your time about it. That’ll take half a day at least. Now, Brad, where were we?
How very communistic. First, you have to EARN respect. This demented jackass has earned none. He can add mass murder to his credentials. He’s totally worthless. I NEVER had any respect for him and I never will.
