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.).

No ‘Disrespect’ of Biden Will Be Allowed

I'm glad they cleared that up. I was thinking No ‘Criticism’ is allowed. Most dictators have that rule.

How about something along the lines of “My Commander-in-Chief is a demented, unintelligent pervert …. not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

“ O.K., I get it: “good order and discipline.”
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. ”

The General staff did nothing when a Vindman was lieing about a
Telephone call made by President Trump. Then we have the other idiot General Milley.I’d love to know what he was doing to support the President at the time.

As a retiree you have no skin in this game. This is about the men and women currently serving.

Albeit, the UCMJ prohibits this anyway, if I’m not mistaken, they’re issuing this threat to intimidate the ranks.

Pretty soon there will be no more ranks. Units will be disbanded and that’s all she wrote.

I will give credit where credit is due, whoever orchestrated all of this bullsh*t is pretty damn smart. I don’t like it and it’d be great to have an opportunity to deal with them, but they aren’t dumb.

Really, the only dumb ones are US. The ones who, over the years, have kept believing in people like Graham, Cornyn, Bush, and all the other globalist RINOs that have been selling us out for decades.

If he wants to lose the military, he is going about it the correct way. Not sure what Biden could do to make this worse.

Just don’t do it in uniform, or stating your rank.

My son in law has been trying to resign his commission since last fall.

They simply won’t let him go.

"Article 88 of the UCMJ rules over officer retirees, use anonymous sources for comment"

There are many retired officers who have been critical on various networks. Will this silence them and what can the Regime do to them? Thanks.

That's all well and good, but Marine Lt Col Schuller may have already started an avalanche. How can service embers remain silent in the face of rank incompetence that is getting them killed?!
