This is for the Navy.
Bet dollars to doughnuts it applies to the Army and AF as well.


(4) For Members of the Naval Service. The Secretary the Navy supports the following:

(a) Exercising the rights of freedom of speech and assembly does not include the right to use the inherent prestige and traditions represented by the uniforms of the naval service to promote privately held convictions on public issues.

(b) Members of the Navy and Marine Corps, including retired members and members of reserve components are prohibited from wearing uniforms of the naval service while attending or participating in a demonstration, assembly, or activity knowing that a purpose of the demonstration, assembly, or activity supports personal or partisan views on political, social, economic, or religious issues, except as authorized in advance by competent authority; or incident to attending or participating in a bona fide religious service or observance.

Agreed 100%

But all that applies to active, reserves, and retirees. Individuals tied in some way to being subject to the UCMJ, DOD, and Applicable Service Instructions.

If this woman has completed her time and is not in a reserve component, then the restrictions don't apply.

FYI:

Wearing a military uniform without authorization might seem harmless, but under federal law, it can lead to legal consequences. 18 U.S.C. 702 makes it a crime to wear an official U.S. military uniform without proper approval, aiming to prevent deception and protect the integrity of military service.
.
.
The law does not require an individual to falsely claim military status to be in violation—simply wearing an official uniform without authorization is enough.
.
.
A person does not need fraudulent intent to violate the law. Unlike statutes targeting impersonation or stolen valor, this law applies even if there was no intention to deceive. The government only needs to prove that the individual knowingly wore a military uniform without authorization.

Courts interpret “knowingly” to mean the person was aware they were wearing a military uniform, not that they knew the law itself.
.
.
Unauthorized use typically applies to civilians who have never served or those no longer permitted to wear the uniform. Even former service members can be in violation if they wear the uniform in a way not permitted by regulations. This ensures military uniforms are not used in ways that mislead the public or undermine military credibility.
.
.
Wearing a military-style jacket alone may not violate the law, but a full uniform with insignia could. Courts assess whether the attire could reasonably be mistaken for an official uniform.

"Full uniform with insignia" is probably where a person could give the impression of being in or of the military if the insignia is not there. IMHO, it is disrespectful and dishonest to use the uniform for political purposes, whatever they may be. But maybe not illegal, it depends on what she's wearing.

Of the two of use I'm the one that is informed.



No you didn't. You posted an AI response to a Google search.

10 U.S. Code § 772 - When wearing by persons not on active duty authorized

www.law.cornell.edu

Here is the actual United States Code. Review the law and tell us where it says anything about it being a criminal offense for civilians. What the law DOES do is provide the structure that the DOD can use in devising it's DOD instructions.

I'll take the United States Code over your AI Google search any day.

a civilian may wear the uniform prescribed by that armed force if the wear of such uniform is specifically authorized under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the military department concerned.

You didnt post those regulations, but Google did. You are leaving out a MASSIVE chunk of this law.

Finally, someone can cite a law.

Given that (and the law quoted below), I stand corrected and apologize for my earlier error.

The law you provided said it was determined by regulations that you failed to post. Youre dumb.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Youre a ******* idiot. YOU dont know that law code either. Only a military lawyer would know that offhand.

You CANNOT wear a uniform at a protest, whether youre active or innactive military.

Of course he/she/it knows it all. After all, he/she/it has a bona fide, genuine degree in military law from the revered BISS School of Everything -- Because I Said So -- the school that all the left cultists graduated from, with highest honors..

[Superbadbrutha]

The articke says that they arent sure what her status is. Regardless, veterans cant put on the uniform and go to a protest, let alone make comments of a political nature on live tv.

What Law says that?

 

[Concerned American]

She's not military. She's a civilian.

Linkie. You have no idea what her status is. The linked article doesn't provide enough info. BTW, anyone who has served in the military is a veteran--regardless of enlistment status.

Looks like this link is about to begin to address the stank, among other things.

 

[22lcidw]

Trump says some of the most vile and nasty ish and you cowards applaud , this woman has a right to her damn opinion just like any other citizen does.

in the military. Not really. Out of the military it is negotiable. If she is employed in a high security intelligence way as a civilian or in a private setting, she needs to watch what she does. Coward accusations come in many ways. People who have children and do not take care of them. Thats a big one. A real big one. Single families are around 50% now and i tis not nirvana for a percentage of that also.

Army veteran joins anti-ICE protest in Dallas and ‘calls on conscience’ of fellow service members

If she is active duty military she’s toast

Unless she’s in the Mexican army

Libs might get away with that under biden and lloyd austin but not trump and pete hegseth

Adios!

She is screwed.

Oh well. BYE

 

[task0778]

OK, from what I see, she has a name tag and a US Army tag on her shirt, rank insignia on her hat, and patches on her shoulder. She's in uniform and she's in big trouble whether she's still serving or not. Hope it was worth it, *****. I got no problem with anybody stating their opinion about anything, but not in the uniform of any branch of the US military. Throw the book at her.

 

[WorldWatcher]

The law you provided said it was determined by regulations that you failed to post.

DOD regulations only apply to active duty and reserves.

DOD regulations do not apply to civilians.

.
.

And you have it backwards, which for someone that doesn't understand the law as you said isn't surprising.

DOD regulations are determined by the law, DOD regulations do not determine the law. The law is set in the United States Code, DOD instructions have to conform to the law - not the other way around.

Youre dumb.

Bold statement for someone that doesn't understand the interactions between DOD instructions and the United States Code passed by Congress.

No one is above the law (if she's still under enlistment).
