As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. Second Lieutenant Rapone's chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter.

Yeah, if it's attention he wanted he's about to get a full measure of it.


At least the Army hasn't grown a gaping pussy yet. Then again, if Obama was still the boss, they might be giving some NFL-esq bullshit media response.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

Another Bradly Manning (or however you spell it, not enough fucks to look it up).

Probably has a docket of prior issues that were swept under the table during the shitstain years (the previous president).

What charge? You know perfectly well that you can't be charged for your political beliefs in the United States.


conduct unbecoming...Article 133 CMJ



United States v. Lofton, 69 M.J. 386 (the elements of a violation of Article 133 are that: (1) the accused did or omitted to do certain acts; and (2) under the circumstances, these acts or omissions constituted conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman; conduct violative of this article is action or behavior in an official capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the person as an officer, seriously compromises the officer’s character as a gentleman, or action or behavior in an unofficial or private capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the officer personally, seriously compromises the person’s standing as an officer; an officer’s conduct need not violate other provisions of the UCMJ or even be otherwise criminal to violate Article 133, UCMJ; the gravamen of the offense is that the officer’s conduct disgraces him personally or brings dishonor to the military profession such as to affect his fitness to command the obedience of his subordinates so as to successfully complete the military mission).

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

He can be charged under article 92, failure to obey orders and regulations.

Uniform wear is prescribed by regulation (AR 670-1).

I will point out that Marine Brigadier General Evans Carlson, of Carlsons Raiders, was said to be a communist. He killed a lot of Japs.

Does that regulation cover t-shirts unseen or unobservable? An item inside one's cover (hat)? A penny in one's shoe? Color and style of skivvies?

8 years of Obama has done more harm then I could have ever imagined.
Our Military appears to have been irreparably harmed by his Obama's social engineering policies.

It is very easy to set someone up to fail.

Assuming his chain of command aren't pinkos too, I suspect his career will be shortened.

The SF-86 (and shorter suitability forms for less-sensitive positions) hasn't asked about CP affiliations for years. It does ask about groups advocating the overthrow of the US Government through violence, but arguably this jackwad doesn't belong to one of those.

Actually, at one time the forms required disclosure of membership in ANY organizations (example, I had to declare the Boy Scouts and a cycling club) whether they were hostile to the United States or not, but... we're a softer, kinder, gentler government these days.

Not a UCMJ expert, but isn't there a catch-all about conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline?
