Yeah, military law is a thing. You get charged twice for most things, both on the civilian side and then the military side. And there’s extra things you get charged for only on the military side.

Again, you can be in the military and call your boss an asshat… But doing it on the Capitol steps (or wherever this guy was), in uniform, is not allowed. I think that actually makes common sense, from a mutiny/discipline standpoint.

Not trying to convince you you’re wrong and like, should have joined up or something, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone’s free speech to be limited in this way.

I mean, most employers would fire you if you stood outside the store in their uniform and held up signs calling the CEO a twat also though, right? Or had it all over your socials?

You can speak ill of officials in the armed forces, you just can’t do it in uniform and you have to keep online content separate from things that identify you as military ie your insta page can’t have a bunch of stuff with you in uniform and then you calling the president a dipshit also.
