In case you missed this Feb 2019 "affirmation," military retirees remain accountable under the Articles of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Interestingly, Article 88 of the UCMJ is pretty straight forward--nay--explicit in terms of criticism directed toward high ranking government officials being in violation of--and, therefore, punishable under--the Code. Am I missing something here or should I refrain from saying that I think the President's remarks regarding the Kurds absence at Normandy as an excuse for our "abandoning them" were despicable. Don't really think that my humble opinion on that matter would gather a lot of attention at high levels...but, we have a President (that is, the President of the United States with nothing better to do) engaging in Twitter wars with basketball coaches, Hollywood types, sports figures, etc and so on; i.e., essentially anyone who does share his high opinion of mostly himself. For your information, consideration and carefully worded comment. SIGNED: John Q. Smith, Retired. LTC Stephen F. LTC Stephen C. COL Mikel J.

So you are a political analyst now. What would you instruct President Trump to do? Take constant false allegations from his opponents or be like Bush 2 and just take it? I’m for the fighter. I’m for the guy that gives it back. If you are a coward and want a President to just fall in the fetal position just admit it. I’ll take the fighter any day of the week.

Yes LTC (Join to see) , I am now a political analyst and my analysis is that Trump is a silver spooned buffoon and both an embarrassment and a threat to this Nation. A "fighter" who lets History's strongest military and/or his money do the fighting for him. Didn't see his ass in SE Asia.

I’m only an E4 and not a retiree! I have no problem saying that dumbass person in WH is a fool and jackass and responsible for all the innocent lives !! If it’s true he shared Intel on Kurd positions to Turks then I’ll see that as abiding to War Crimes at The Hague.

Sooo... I think I'm going to fight that in Federal Court. I mean I really didn't mind and I completely understood when I was active duty that I had given up certain rights and had others limited in ways I didn't understand when I joined as a young man.
This in my mind has nothing to do with Pro-Trumpism or Pro-Pelosism, but to be told that once I'm retired after serving honorably for 20+ years that I still have less rights than a felon that served his full sentence - that's despicable.
I feel that court affirmation is an assault on my individual Constitutional Right to Free Speech under the First Amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
