I have never agreed with shutting down the military voice. All kinds of people spend money to influence the Congress and the President, yet, the very people whose lives are at stake get no voice at all. I am sure this is not what the founders had in mind for a national military. They wanted the States to have a say and the State militaries always had a say.
As part of the Communist takeover of this country they have silenced the members of the military and made laws to shut them up. Who better to know the ramifications of military use than the military? Yet, the Commies dont want to hear from them.
Excellent points, I agree 100%.
the Hatch Act has been in place forever
Military is supposed to keep quiet about politics
Nothing new
