[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3240883, member: 41761"] The 2016 Presidential Elections were the first Elections that I really paid attention to as I had just retired from the Military, I found the interest of service Members very interesting as for many years i swore that "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the Officers appointed over me." "That I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion." Pretty simple stuff really, the Military is the action arm and without the removal of political prejudice there is no chance of solidarity within the ranks. The HUGE sticker flies in the face of Duty and should be removed IOT assist in maintaining "Good order and Discipline." The Military is not the place for politics and the advertising of such can and will be thought of in the same light as KKK, Neo Nazi, Gangster Disciples, Care Bear enthusiasts and lepers. Example: Racism is commonly associated with the current POTUS, some factions within the Services might associate the window sticker as an attempt to state their racial prejudices in line with absolutely nothing the Military has been trying to instill for a few hundred years. Totally counter productive in the eyes of most Commands. Silly? Maybe, yet the facts are the facts. [/QUOTE]
