Active Duty, Retired Naval Intelligence Members Told They Cannot ‘Disrespect’ Biden Over Afghanistan Debacle
Daily Wire ^ | 08/27/21 | Chrissy Clark

Posted on 08/28/2021 7:56:09 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Top leadership at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) informed active duty and retired service members that they cannot condemn President Joe Biden amid the chaotic — and now deadly — pullout of American troops from Afghanistan. 

In an email from the ONI’s Chief of Staff, ONI members were reminded that per a Uniform Code of Military Justice and Department of Defense Directive clause they cannot disrespect senior government leadership. This includes the President, Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, and more. 

 
 

The email reads: 

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.).

Per the same uniformed personnel policy, ONI members cannot participate in partisan political activity or distribute partisan political literature. An internal ONI member told The Daily Wire that these policies were more relaxed under the Trump administration and recalled retired officers condemning the former President.

A weird variation of that, but not a free country anymore.

You’re correct!

Why would they have to issue it, if most were ‘on board’?

I’m hearing from people very close to TF Pineapple that the State Dept. is actively blocking the private extractions of Americans by our private operators.

Why?

Why is the US Govt. leaving Americans stranded to be killed in Afghanistan?

Something very sinister going on.

I have had a boner about Biden since he was first elected t
to the Senate!!

I am a Viet/cold war vet, and I did not ‘retire’. I separated, because of that darn “You are responsible for your dependents, whether you are at your duty station or not.” That includes if your wife threatens the base commander, while living in quarters!!

So, since the UCMJ states “retired”, and not “separated’,
BITE ME! JOE APPLESAUCE BIDEN IS THE WORST PRESIDENT, EVER!!

This was done only once, as far as I know. Certainly not enough to either threaten or scare anybody. My oath was to the Constitution - not a brain-dead CINC or his ass-kissing perfumed princes.

Department of Naval Irrelevance with a planned surrender to the Taliban controlled by Pakistan can kiss my ass. The failed and treasonous Commander and Chief with Blinkin, Milley, SEC DEF, and all senior staff should all resign or be fired or court martialed in dishonor. Complete and utter failure from the top down and no excuse is acceptable to the American people. And you bastards want people to be silent? Go to hell and kiss everyone’s ass and may you be given a one way ticket to Cavemanistan and be subject to Sharia law. Cowardice and stupidity and senility have taken control of the United States.

ONI doesn’t know how to read directives. Consistent with their lack of intelligence.

1. Article 88 only deals with active duty officers.

2. DoDD 1344.10 of 2008 doesn’t prohibit retired military from calling Xiden a dipshit, but there are prohibitions on political activities depending on how many days have passes since the retiree left active duty.

So yes, Biden is a dipshit and illegitimate occupier of the White House.

What are they gonna do to this retiree? Court Martial me? Withhold my pension? This administration is beyond salvation. And I am not not active duty anymore. This missive is beyond comprehension to entail those who had finished their service. Why are they circling the wagon to protect this administration. There is something fishy in Denmark!

ONI is full of crap. This only applies to active or inactive reserve, but once separated from all service and the service can no longer legally call you back up to active duty they have no authority to say a dam thing under UCMJ, you are a civilian.

Respect is earned, not demanded.

They believe that ordering the military that they cannot disrespect Biden over the Afghanistan situation, this silence will be read as RESPECT of Biden.
They are attempting to create a situation based on a big lie.
Biden is NOT respected. He earned all the disrespect he is now receiving. He is counting on all the silence to be offered as proof of the respect his military is giving him.

One hundred twenty-four retired admirals and generals signed a letter questioning the validity of the 2020 election and U.S. President Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Is DOD going to go after these gentleman? Only commissioned officers retired are subject to the UCMJ for life and they have to do something really really bad to disgrace the uniform to be court martialed in retirement. This is nothing more than Joe Bite me going after talking heads on TV and media and if this government ever attempted to go after anyone for calling Biden a fool they will reap such a back lash so quickly the administration would fall.
