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.
Well then thank {Deity} I’m a civilian non-veteran. Not that I’d listen to any decrees by an illegal usurper like you anyway Joe. Disrespect you dementia Joe? My esteem for you would have to climb 1000 fold before I could rise to the simple disrespect level. Joe, you’re so low you’re not even worthy of contempt.
This guy was active. And canned. He took the chance.

Did a little digging and found this...
Article 2(a)(4) allows for the court-martial of regular component (Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard) retirees who are entitled to pay, and Article 2(a)(6) allows for the court-martial of retirees who are part of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve. Moreover, despite their retiree status, these two groups are treated like active-duty members in that they are continuously subject to UCMJ jurisdiction.

That’s why they should carry a sidearm.
Discovery would be devastating to Biden, because independent medical doctors would be examining him for senility.
And “Q” led people to believe that the military would step in to protect the country from the coup. Ha!
their families can though correct?
Retired military can say whatever the hell they want to say just like any other civilian.
This proves that Milley should have been booted a while back.
Makes you wonder if they’re in favor of a mandatory draft so they could control everyone’s speech.
In a sane world, only veterans would be able to vote, or to voice political opinions.

Also,
I took an oath to protect my country against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. I consider * and his puppet masters and enablers to be enemies of my country.
That oath has no expiration date.
How does ONI get in touch with retirees? What is the chain of command for those retirees?
So Biden finally fired somebody...
Watch the V.A. try to copy this remarkable commie leaning groupthink edict.
