Military Probing Army Reserve Corporal Who Campaigned For Ron Paul In Uniform In Iowa http://biggovernment.com/jsshapiro/2012/01/04/exclusive-military-investigating-army-reserve-corporal-who-campaigned-for-ron-paul-in-uniform/ by Jeffrey Scott Shapiro Big Government has learned that Corporal Jesse Thorsen, 28, who promoted presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) while in uniform during yesterday’s Iowa caucuses, is being probed by his Army Reserve unit for violation of Department of Defense Regulations. Members of the U.S. armed forces are prohibited by Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 from campaigning or participating in public political activities while in uniform. The purpose of the directive is to preserve the political independence of the military.  |

How many of the gays protesting in uniform got in trouble? How many of those OWS fucksticks were investigated (assuming any of them had gotten further into the military than an Army surplus store)? Yep, this is blatantly against regs. My problem is this rule seems to flouted at will if it's for the "correct" political cause. |

I get that, but I wouldn't think you could reenlist for that long like that. I had to be an E5 to reenlist, and that was with 5 years in. |

But such is the peril of our system of government. As to his future, I have my doubts. He clearly doesn't have one in military service after this. |

It's made quite clear to us that we don't do that shit. I'm sure he knows that. He deserves whatever the military does with him.
If you want to say, "I'm in the military and I support ______," that's fine. But NOT IN ANY OFFICIAL UNIFORM, even a PT uniform. |

They are probing this but not FUBAR Shamar. Former Marine SGT. Shamar Thomas stood around at Occupy Wall St. screaming at Cops while wearing his Marine Uniform. He also went on Speaking tours most days wearing a Marine Uniform and toting a fake resume and the DOD did Shit all. So tell me how this isnt a double standard against Conservatives. Yes I know he was a former Marine but the shit he spit was rediculous.

Not sure DOD could have done anything to him. |
