A Military endorsement?

[LandonCook]

What better endorsement, than a Military endorsement!

Now picture this... Every single RP supporter who has been in the millitary, dress in their uniforms. A bunch of voters in the military voting for Paul, would more likely convince undecided voters.

So what do we do... make sure every RP Iowa Vet; Votes, and comes in uniform.

illegal

 

[Danny Molina]

They are not allowed to support a candidate while wearing their uniforms.

 

[Heather in WI]

I believe they can't appear in uniform while making a political speech

Your shitting me right! OMG that is such BS!

It's illegal and for good reason too. I fear the day the government or military start officially endorsing candidates.

Ok... what about Vets?

I'm for Betrayus. He certainly would convince the
War-Hardliners on the conservative side.

Ok... what about Vets?

I dunno about you, but I'll gladly wear my sub hat.

 

[LandonCook]

Does this include VETS?

Does this include VETS?

As far as I'm aware, the UCMJ still holds some sort of 'claim' over you when you're out--FOR ONE YEAR. That puts me 6 months or so past their grip.

my brother (an Iraq veteran) wanted to wear his uniform to the rally at USC a few months back, and checked to see if he could. he was told, NO.

vets should be immune as they are once again civilians

Screw you, General PETRAEUS is an honerable man that was put in a bad position by the President. He was charged with a job and like all of us on Active Duty over here right now we are carrying out our orders to the best of our ability. I have seen first hand that the "surge" has worked as far as decreasing violence every day I fly. He is only doing what he is ordered to do man, give him a break.

And actually if you are a vet you can do whatever you want, but I for instance can not. I am not sure if I am allowed to participate in that letter writing campaign but I do anyway, you just have to be careful what you say. The military has bigger things to worry about than to track down people like me who possibly bend the rules from time to time.

It doesn't matter much unless you are willing to stand behind the "zone line" for hours. Once you are in a certain vicinity of voting booths you cannot do, say, or wear anything political.

 

[NerveShocker]

Sigh, whats working is what the British did. That is leaving. The area the British left and went home from has much less violence if any now.. It's a myth that we need to stay there, just like the Wmd's were a myth, and your dreaming if you really think they want us there. We are considered invaders.. we can't just invade countries with fake reasons. Listen to Ron Paul speak about the war he tells people all of these things every chance he gets. If it weren't for Ron Paul I wouldn't even know the British were leaving/have left. Somehow the Mainstream media(old media) missed that story or at least rarely brings it up if they ever did.

I agree. The general is just doing his job, and he has made things better in Anbar for now. As a soldier he's just doing what he's told to do.
