ACtually I read an article when this story first came out which pointed out that he had twice been told what he was doing was OK because he had a disclaimer on his site saying that it was not associated with the USMC.

Saying that you will not obey unlawful orders is the height of discipline and good order - and that was what was previously listed as being what he said that got him in trouble. (To be truthful, this particular article is so poorly-written, I’m not sure whether what they put in quotes is directly from this guy or not. The whole article is clear as mud).

Refusing to confront an illegal foreign enemy combatant in the White HOuse would bring MUCH discredit upon the armed forces, so those refusing to address this are the ones in violation of Article 134.

And yes, the point at which he got into trouble was when he mentioned Obama’s ineligibility. Maybe he should be glad he got off with his life. The chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party didn’t...

I don't like or support the current occupant of the White House. I don't believe he is eligible, and know that he is the worst trainwreck for a president that we have ever had.

That said, this Marine is an idiot for doing what he did. Only in a world of no discipline would one get away with it. I don't know if he was offered a chance to stop what he was doing, as his OIC, I would have recommended it. This kind of discourse is something for over beers at the Club, not for social media.

No doubt from 'sea lawyers'.

That isn't a surprise, attaching that statement when commenting about your CIC is what is problematic. Like it or not, there hasn't been a finding by competent authority thet the current douche in the White House is ineligible. It isn't within the purview of military members to make one. Thankfully, we don't have military coups daily like some African/Central American countries. A Marines' job is to be ready to fight and fight when ordered. Political commentary is a job for retired Marines.

Hyperbole.
