Technically anyone on Title 10 status is only "off-duty" when on leave or pass.

Political stunts in uniform are a big no-no regardless of status whether it is SAD, Title 32 or Title 10...

Also, if they are in D.C. on a Title 10 status, then there is no such thing as "off duty"...

If someone wanted to push it, they could be subject to some UCMJ action...

DoD Instruction 1344.01 -- Wearing of the Uniform prohibits active-duty members, prior service members and retirees from wearing their uniform "when participating in activities such as unofficial public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration" that might imply military support ...

They violated military code to send her a message.

The uniform is not a costume. Wearing it indicates the individual is in some form of duty status. And as indicated in this thread, they are on orders in support of the federal government (Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution). They are not there for a photo op.

Did they visit Hammered Hank Johnson when he said Guam was going to tip over?

People excusing his stupidity by saying he was joking haven't watched the video.

So a Republican says dumb shite...and a military force shows up at her office.


Dems say dumb shite and it's swept under the rug...hidden to the point where the only people who talk about it are labeled a conspiracy theorist or racist.

in fairness, even Anderson Cooper said that the Johnson comment was so stupid that when he heard about it he thought it might have been an April Fools joke, but saw that it clearly was not when he watched the video.

He even complimented the Admiral for having the self-control to not laugh in Johnson's face.

What’s Going on With U.S. Military and Democrat Politicization of The Institution

quote:
There are numerous reports of the U.S. military engaging in recent political activity that has raised some eyebrows. Many are wondering what is going on…. and there’s likely an alarming reason. Considering the specific examples over the past few years, I would argue the Democrats are positioning for use of the military in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act -or- by an expressed act of congress.

With all due respect, I am going to have to ask to see the video counsellor. The Left is focused on protecting their own now.

Many thanks. It appears that Georgia has some issues with their representatives. I do like the smarmy use of the graphics while Anderson reveals the footage. Well done. Would love to have that version of CNN again. The world would be a better place.

Obviously, Cooper is not popular here, but he is a pretty bright guy. You could almost HEAR his eyes rolling as Johnson was bumbling his way through that presentation.

Indeed. The Admiral's composure there was rock solid, lol. He didn't miss a beat.
