Do you agree that there is a time, place and audience that you should make certain comments around?

Today I was in an area where there was an E7 talking to a group of soldiers ranging from the rank of PV2 - SGT about how he does not like the president. He also made comments that he does not have to follow any orders that the president give as well as his BC or anyone else if he does not want to do it. He was also purposely calling the president Osama or Bin Ladin on numerous occasions. Do you think that this form of "do as I say not as I do" attitude need to be address and reported to someone higher or dismissed.

Its a certain level of immaturity. Calling the President names, really??
If you want to have a discussion with some valid points, then lets have an intellectual debate...
Once heard an E-7 talking about having babies sucked up the vacuum...

Let your conscience be your guide. What he is doing is against the UCMJ, but I would not like to be under this NCO and turn him in.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member Sounds totally out of line and unprofessional to me. Was he sober? That requires quiet up channel communication by a Troop who cares!

What that SFC is doing is a big fat No Go, made all the worse by doing it in front of Soldiers.
I would very seriously consider recommending relief to the commander for this.
No matter how you view current events, active duty service members can not besmirch the elected leaders of the United States.

Someone needs to straighten his ass up as he is teaching them bad behavior and thinking.

I believe the correct COA is for the 1SG and CO to have WTF were you thinking meeting with the E7. Illuminate the harm he caused and look at avenues to show the unit what right looks like by having him give training on the linkage of the military CoC to the POTUS. He has displayed extremely poor judgment, especially by a Senior NCO.
