My alma mater, the United States Air Force Academy is sick. A complete overhaul is needed of personnel.
An example needs to be made here. This looks like an organized protest to us.
@samosaur reported on X: Brig. Gen. (ret) Martin France, Air Force, conducted a one man demonstration in dress uniform outside of the Air Force Academy graduation today.
He claims President Trump is the "most deplorable and reprehensible humans to ever hold ANY public office in the USA, much less presidency." As such, he believes it's his duty, after 41 years in uniform, to do something peaceful to "bring attention to, stop, and reverse what sane Americans see as a direct threat to our great nation."
Brig. Gen. France stated that his lawyer friends said that he "cannot be part of an organized protest if I’m in uniform, but that I can express my sentiments, consistent with my First Amendment rights to free speech.
My sign will simply say “LET THEM SERVE,” referring to and supporting the two transgender cadets graduating Thursday and the thousands that will be unconstitutionally and illegally separated from the military over the next several weeks."
Should a flag officer, retired or not, be using his uniform to protest? Is this legal as his lawyer friends told him?
Clearly he was asleep during the Biden years and the Obama years.
He might support mentally ill people in the armed forces but normal people do not. His pathetic virtue signalling should get him the boot.
AMEN, and AMEN !!!
He needs to finish his pathetic life in Prison !!! He's an insult to all the BRAVE Men and Women, who have put on the uniform and served Honorably !!!!
He just violated Article 88 of the UCMJ. (Making a political statement in Uniform.) Bust him to E-1, remove his benefits and give him a Bad Conduct Discharge.
Yes
Section 88 I believe prevents him from disparaging remarks against the President.
I am a Navy veteran from the Vietnam War era. Currently, I reside in Colorado, the home of the once prestigious Air Force Academy. A few years ago, we had the son of a minister friend from California go through the academy. One of the leaders of the academy was a lesbian who lived on campus with her wife. He was a Christian when he entered. When he left, he was no longer a Christian. He was indoctrinated to believe homosexuality was fine and that our nation had no right to make Christian laws.
So where are you now 'Joe' to call out this article as an "IDF bot army" post... you woke POS!
