He can not express his opinion any way he wants while in uniform that is fact that is law...... Many things he can not say in or out of Uniform if he is around his troops..... also fact, also Law.
The Marine allowed himself to be polled as to who he is going to be voting for..... that means whoever reported on the story and then allowed the story to get out to the public with this Marines views as to who he would like to see win in a Federal Election may have also broken Federal Law.
He also told his troops..... the very people he holds the power of life and death over that he is 100 percent against Kerry that in affect he would like to see President Bush win in a Federal Election.
That is why If the story is true..... If I had my way he would be out of the Military with bad paper...... I would based on his Service Record spare him from Prison but still fine him. And I would make sure everyone in the United States Military knew about it.
If the story is true..... If I was calling the shots at the DoD or If I was there as witness to such things do everything in my power to get rid of someone who Dishonored the Uniform of the United States Marine Corps.... and turned it into a mere Uniform of a Political Party.
Tell me what happens if Kerry does win? Knowing there is a Member of the United States Marine Corps that wants him out of the job..... and is not worried about having people know his feeling on a President Kerry, that he is 100 percent against Kerry? And not afraid of saying such things around his troops.... or the press.
A President Kerry could never count on that Marines loyalty to the Nation..... what would a President Kerry do?
What would you do if you were President knowing there is a Marine who is openly Against you and still Serving in the Military?
But never fear.... I have no Political Party to serve. I am No Political Preference I only care about the Constitution of the United States of America..... supporting and defending it against all enemies. In the end I only care that there is an Office of President and that the person in that office is a Civilian.
I have in my lifetime voted for people in both party’s.... and God willing will continue to do so. The people I vote for may or may not win on Election Day but each time my Nation holds a free and fair Election I win. You will never see me post about who I would like to see win in a Federal Election..... I want Americans to vote for who they would like to see win not for someone I would like to see win.
And I'm retired from Active Duty..... under the law I can say what I wish.... I just don't. I really don't want people to throw their vote away on someone merely because I said who I would like to see win.
There are a few in the Nation who like me who would like to see the right to vote taken off all Members of the United States Military while serving on Active Duty.... things have gotten too far out of hand what with many in the Nation saying the Military Supports one Political Party over another.
Before I posted the Law did you know it was against Federal Law to Poll Members of the United States Military to see who it is they will be voting for..... or who they have voted for in the past?
If the Military as a whole can not serve the Nation but only a mere Political Party then there are those like me who see the only answer being the removal of Voting Rights for the Active Military. Many years afterwards once the Military is reshaped and only Serving the Nation.... with a new Oath..... those Rights IMO could be given back.
But don't worry I doubt I will get what I want..... but I can keep telling people the Law on such matters and I have gotten lucky in the past and caught those on Active Duty telling others who to vote for or who they would like to see win when they hold the power of life and death over those people.
Also just think if there is a President Kerry 4 years from now when someone is running against him and the same thing happens except with a Active Duty Member pulling for Kerry while in Uniform with his Troops around and saying he is 100 percent against the other guy..... I'll post that what he did is illegal in the same way. Because in the end I have an entire Nation to worry about.
