Active Duty Troops to March on White House

One thousand veterans and active duty troops will shatter the corporate media hoax that insists members of the American military do not support Ron Paul due to his opposition to the unconstitutional forever war agenda of the establishment.

Despite this myth, the New York Times was obliged to admit reality last December, even if the admission wasn’t featured on the front page of the newspaper but instead posted on a remote area of its website.

“Representative Ron Paul, the congressman who favors the most minimalist American combat role of any major presidential candidate and who said all of the above quotes, has more financial support from active duty members of the service than any other politician,” Timothy Egan wrote.

“As of the last reporting date, at the end of September, Paul leads all candidates by far in donations from service members. This trend has been in place since 2008, when Paul ran for president with a similar stance: calling nonsense at hawk squawk from both parties.”

The troops also and not surprisingly support Paul over Obama, who said he would end the wars and bring the troops home and instead expanded the unjustified, illegal and unconstitutional wars started by his predecessor.

The pie chart below shows the break down of support. Continued

Comment: Good for them , but the MSM will probably ignore the event. Doesn't serve the bankers system of control

bogus, at least on the active duty military portion...

Military Folks and Politics -- Political Activities by Military Personnel

Federal Law (Titles 10, 2, and 18, United States Code), Department of Defense (DOD) Directives, and specific military regulations strictly specify a military active duty person's participation in partisan political activities.

DOD defines "partisan political activity" as "activity supporting or relating to candidates representing, or issues specifically identified with, national or State political parties and associated or ancillary organizations."

A "Nonpartisan political activity is defined as "activity supporting or relating to candidates not representing, or issues not specifically identified with, national or State political parties and associated or ancillary organizations. Issues relating to constitutional amendments, referendums, approval of municipal ordinances, and others of similar character are not considered as specifically being identified with national or State political parties."

What Active Duty Members Cannot Do

Participate in partisan political fundraising activities, rallies, conventions (including making speeches in the course thereof), management of campaigns, or debates, either on one’s own behalf or on that of another, without respect to uniform or inference or appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. Participation includes more than mere attendance as a spectator.

Participate in any radio, television, or other program or group discussion as an advocate for or against a partisan political party, candidate, or cause.

March or ride in a partisan political parade.

Any activity that may be reasonably viewed as directly or indirectly associating the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security (in the case of the Coast Guard) or any component of these Departments with a partisan political activity or is otherwise contrary to the spirit and intention of this Directive shall be avoided.

Do you hate the troops supporting Ron Paul? Do you like war and death? Our troops don't seem to like being fodder for the AAE.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for ANY US military person.

I am simply pointing pointing out to you that they are forbidden by military regulations from marching in a political parade while on active duty.

That applies only when they are in uniform, or in any fashion that identifies them as active duty military.

They are free to participate in political events, just not as representatives of active duty military.

for example, here is AFPD 51-9, which follows DOD directive 1344.10...

http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/shared/media/epubs/AFI51-902.pdf

4.1. Members who engage in any of the prohibited activities listed in this paragraph and subparagraphs are subject to prosecution under Article 92, UCMJ, in addition to any other applicable provision of the UCMJ or Federal law. Members shall not:

This prohibition applies whether the individual is in uniform or not, and regardless of whether an inference or appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement may be drawn. Participation includes more than mere attendance as a spectator. (See also paragraphs 4.1.9 and 4.1.16.)

Good God! Have you ever served? If so, where the hell were you when they explained some of the actions that are Streng Verboten in uniform?

 

[GuyPinestra]

So, are MP's going to round up thousands of people in civvies to see if they are indeed active duty military?
