Are the retired officer's rhetoric appropriate as a member of the West Point Advisory Board?

More info from research on the retired Army officer:
Views on Russian annexation
In 2014, after Russia tried to annex Crimea and was engaged in a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor went on Russian network RT where he called for the annexation of the Donbass in accordance with the results of 2014 referenda and said residents of the region "are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians. The 2014 referenda results are not officially recognized by any country, including the United States, Russia, or the members of the European Union. The governments of Ukraine, the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have criticized the referenda as unconstitutional and illegitimate.
Views on the Kosovo War
In 2014, Macgregor went on Russian network RT to express his opposition to U.S. intervention in the Kosovo War.
So, I guess it's okay to go on Russian television and bad mouth one's own country and its political views? Got it.

Everything I've seen has shown me that the current administration is indeed trying to replace the voting demographic. With everything that they're giving to the non-citizen, they're basically trying to buy votes to keep themselves in power. Calling it a "conspiracy" is just the easy way to get around having to argue with facts.

How do you replace the voting demographic? How does a non-citizen vote? Don't you have to have proof of citizenship to vote? How does the actions of this administration differ from actions of all previous administrations?
For me? The comment sounds political. Again, the topic of this thread relates to comments an Academy grad made on an advisory board. How does voting have anything to do with the military and it's selection of qualified candidates to attend the Academy?

I'm commenting on the headline about spreading "conspiracy."
Many states you are not required to show ID to vote. And this administration is trying harder and harder to make it easier for ANYONE to vote, regarding of whether or not they're citizens or in any other way ineligible.

Sgt (Join to see) - So, you're conflating the current legislation IN CONGRESS with what are specific rights IN THE STATES as it relates to voting laws? How is this administration SPECIFICALLY involved in ANY STATES voting process? Please provide ONE EXAMPLE.

If it is true - yes. With everything I've seen over the last 100+ days there *appears* to be some truth to the statements.

. . .which is an appropriate conversation to have in the military? Really?
How would that have worked in Vietnam when soldiers were drafted?

1) What does Vietnam have to do with today's political climate? And if what I witnessed growing up during that time we had a lot of protests and former military speaking out AGAINST all the evils being done in the name of the Vietnam war.
2) He is civilian on a board overseeing West Point. He is no longer military.
3) Optics/perception is king. How do you describe thousands of ILLEGAL immigrants being moved around the country in the dead of night? We are now a country with a 5-10% population base that has neither visas or, according to law, the right to be here. Yet there is a push to allow these non-citizens the right to vote. A move that is in direct violation of our Constitution and Laws. On top of that, how much does it cost the tax payers each year? Or to look at it from the eyes of those coming here - compare earning $75 to $200 a month to everything they get for free here. Where would you rather be?
Our oath we took demands we DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION - not the politicians!

SSgt (Join to see) - After the Vietnam war, we took in Vietnamese REFUGEES. The other "label" was ILLEGAL immigrants. We just changed the name. We can in Cuban REFUGEES. They were ILLEGAL immigrants. Remember Elian Gonzalez and the Cuban "boat people?" Remember the Haitian REFUGEES of 1991?
So, how are the REFUGEES from Central or South America any different than the previous influx of ILLEGALS? Again, how is the CURRENT INFLUX any different than what happened in 1991 or 1999? How about the Cuban Mariel Boat Lift in 1989? I don't hear Marco Rubio say anything about that?
You're right. The retired O5 is no longer in the military. Why is he imparting politics of the current administration to active duty people? Again, this is the same guy who goes on Russian television and bad mouth's U.S. policy on Russian TV.
Lastly, The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
