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.).

Don’t forget to add the state legislatures, Governor’s, and the rest that allowed CornPop to get to the White House in the first place.

If it weren’t for them, none of this would be happening.

They can’t do a damn thing about veterans or retirees but I’d damn sure like to see them try.

F Biden and his entire administration.

They took an oath to defend and protect The Constitution, not Joe Biden.

Says the Office of Naval Intelligence.
I don’t think they have complete confidence which way the guns would be pointed in a 21 gun salute to Biden.

What retired and former servicemembers do is none of the government business, so long as it is legal.

I wonder why they did not apply Article 2(a)(4) and 88 for the retired Generals who disrespected President Trump as our Commander in Chief.

Actually it was criticism of Stalin’s conduct of the war in a letter to a friend that did him in. Solzhenitsyn also got in trouble for advocating a different type of government which was a big no-no according to the Soviet criminal code.

You can’t, but I’m betting that the retention NCO in every unit is going to be quite bored in the coming weeks and months. And if they end up being serious about the shot and the troops don’t get it, there’s going to be a lot of folks turning in their gear.

Ft Bragg has 57,000 troops of various MOSs. Home to the 82nd, Special Forces and Delta Force, to name a few.

If half of that 800k said NO and were booted from the military, you’re looking at closing 7 bases, at least. That’s a lot of folks.

Maybe that’s the plan all along. Decimate the military so we have no one to fight, fly the planes or steer the ships.

I was just having that discussion on another thread with someone who thought Kemp had nothing to do with the Big Steal.

Biden is the closest thing to an actual zombie residing in the WH.
If you don’t count first “lady” hillary clinton.

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.).

As a military retiree, I do not believe this applies to me.

I will press ahead until corrected personally.
