Military and legal experts are warning that retired military officers could be punished if they slam President Trump, as several have in recent weeks.

"Retired officers can't make contemptuous remarks of the commander-in-chief," John Dowd, a former Marine Corps Judge Advocate and former Trump legal adviser, warned in a report in Just the News.

"They're all subject to recall. They're subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice until they die."

The report detailed some of those who have unleashed diatribes against Trump:

John Dowd is a REAL Marine.

General Mattis has NO honor.

Soooo many of the Obama promotions are such wusses. Our Military needs to become a lean, mean, fighting machine. It cannot do that with the upper echelon cares more about political correctness than they do about Military Values.

UCMJ article 2 and article 88 would be invoked.

Article 88, UCMJ, “Contempt toward elected officials”.

Added in 1867 to silence Union generals running for President by criticizing the unpopular Andrew Johnson. Applies only to commissioned officers.

Had it waved in my face in 1996 after I was overheard calling Clinton a draft dodger while I was on duty. As a Vietnam veteran I was told by the CO to zip it.

Should be applied to G.O.’s who are badmouthing PDJT. A general officer is never fully retired & can be recalled to active duty to face court martial charges.

They evidently haven’t read the Book of Revelation . . . to want to be part of that is selling your soul to satan.

Actually any Commissioned Officer, not just Generals.

He won’t do that as the elections are coming up and he can’t look vindictive.
