[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1764939, member: 239"] SCOTUS has ruled on multiple occasions that members of the military do have limited rights to free speech. At least the author has the ability to recognize reality. Stated by one who obviously never served in the military and has no idea why discipline and coherence, to use his words, are so very important to the military being able to fulfill its mission. The author forgets or is unaware that a fundamental foundation of our constitution is that the military must always be subject to governance by civilian authority. The founders set it up that way on purpose less the armed forces someday decide they should be in charge. Serving in the armed forces is a choice these days. If one joins without understanding the ramifications and consequences and one doesn't like the rules then it sucks to be you. In this case it sucks to be the Seargent. He may be being railroaded by a vindicative administration or he may have violated the UCMJ rules regarding political speech - I'm not a lawyer and can't make a qualified judgement in that regard but my gut tells me he's being railroaded and the website he runs hasn't crossed the line in the sand set by the UCMJ. That said: I didn't finish the article after reading the section quoted: What would be the point. The author knows not of what he speaks. [/QUOTE]
