[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2358470, member: 42"] It is in the oath, indirectly as it relates to discharging the duties of one's office. Part of discharging your duties AND bearing true faith to the Constitution is following existing regulations and laws. There are plenty of laws on the books about using one's active duty rank for personal gain and political activity. There is also plenty of law/precedent etc in regards to civilian control and oversight of the military. By writing the article as LTC Bateman, instead of Mr. Bateman he colored the article in terms of the U.S. Military criticizing one of the civilian branches of government responsible for the oversight of the institution which gave him that rank. In short, he has a right to his opinion but he does not have a right to color, or present, that opinion in his official capacity as an active duty commissioned officer in the U.S. military. He a POS perfumed prince angling for some political office or cushy think tank job post-retirement. [/QUOTE]
