Marine Sues To Block Discipline Over Obama Facebook Critique...

[G.T.]

And why is the Government allowed to monitor his Facebook Account? Seems very intrusive and unjust. And i don't care about that 'Once you sign onto the Military, you have no rights' shite either. They shouldn't be monitoring the man's Facebook Account. Period, end of story.

Actually they can and do monitor the social accounts of Military members, when I was in the service a Filipina girl had photos of herself in her lingerie on her Myspace account, her commander saw the photos and she was ordered to remove them. My First Sergeant saw my Myspace page at the time and had OSI start an investigation on me because the song on my page was from a group called "La Coka Nostra" which means this cocaine of ours or something, they made me take a urinalysis but didn't tell me why, I didn't find out about the investigation until afterwards, you really don't have that many rights in the Military.

Yeah, that's pretty awful. Unfortunately, Big Brother grows bigger & bigger everyday. But hey, it's for your own good, right?

Got a problem with our Military, don't join it dipshit.

A U.S. Marine facing discipline and possible discharge for using his "Armed Forces Tea Party" Facebook page to criticize President Barack Obama has filed suit seeking to halt military proceedings against him.

Lawyers for Sergeant Gary Stein, 26, a meteorologist stationed at Camp Pendleton, were expected in federal court in San Diego on Wednesday to try to block the proceedings, arguing that the Marine Corps was violating his right to free speech. Stein ran into trouble for a critical comment he posted in an online debate over the punishment faced by NATO and U.S. military personnel over burning copies of the Koran in Afghanistan.

The Marine sergeant has said he is free to express personal political opinions when he is off-duty and out of uniform, and Defense Department rules allow soldiers to make political statements so long as they are not doing so as representatives of the armed services.

Military experts have said that by associating the name of his Facebook page with the armed forces, Stein essentially put himself in the position of speaking publicly while in uniform.

Stein posted a copy of his lawsuit, along with a letter sent to the Marine Corps on his behalf by U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter, a former Marine who supports Stein, on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

He openly criticized the Commander in Chief... you can't do that... there is protocol. Privately, that;s another thing and it's done with great regularity.

Baracknaphobic Libo-Pauli is at it again and if you disagree you're an Obamabot

The Marine Corps notified Sgt. Gary Stein Wednesday that it is moving to dismiss him for violating the Pentagon's policy barring troops from engaging in political activities.

The military has had a policy since the Civil War limiting the free speech of service members, including criticizing the commander in chief.

The same thing would happen under Bush, Reagan (if they'd had Facebook then), etc. When in the military you do NOT denigrate your chain of command...including your Commander in Chief. Of course, if you'd ever served, you'd know that.

Christ, get a fucking grip

They can post whatever they like to Facebook, but when those posts insult their superiors, they're subject to disciplinary action. They knew it when they signed up. You should get that tinfoil hat refitted; I think it's too tight.

Then he shouldn't have named his FB page "Armed Forces Tea Party" and posted political statements there. Like, duh.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Yup thats how it is in the Military, you really don't have any privacy, if you live on base its even worse, they can come into your home and search whatever they like, even your computer without a warrant.

 

[Bigfoot]

Yup. Barry is the CIC and anyone in the Military, no matter what they think privately, has to follow the rules.

Guys an idiot in my book.

/agree. The guy has to know the rules. You keep your trap shut when it comes to politics especially when it concerns the Commander-in-Chief. He's an idiot.
