Is Desantis military policy actually constitutional ?

One of the headlines is that retired generals will be punished if they speak out against the policies of a sitting president.

That sounds like the state limiting the freedom of speech of a private citizen.

Of course Prez Ron would not want any criticism of his policies but is he able to do this ?

President Ron Desantis would know what works in the military, and what would hurt readiness and recruiting.
Leftist social policies are not well received by the warrior class.

How does stopping private citizens commenting help the military ?

Since when do Democrats or other leftists care about constitutionality?

I'm not seeing your OP quote of retired generals being threatened with punishment in the linked article????
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Desantis would roll back "woke" policies in favor of traditional military policies.

This is consistent with the authoritarian right’s advocacy of the unitary executive theory – the codification of the Imperial Presidency where the president may rule via fiat unchecked by Congress, the courts, or the people.

It’s an important component of the right’s desire to destroy democracy and establish the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

As for DeSantis’ position with regard to diversity in the military, DeSantis is a hateful racist and bigot – as president he would clearly pursue a policy where racism, bigotry, and hate would be allowed to flourish in the military; yet another example of why DeSantis is unfit to be president.

Its in keeping with his hatred of free speech.

Like cancelling $500 billion in student debt without Congress?
Yeah, that's some fucked up right-wing shit.

Isn't it?

He can't do it as governor of course but as president it seems to be a good idea.

STFU Tommy. You don't know anything about the American military. Retired Generals are still subject to military law and the control of the commander in chief, POTUS. The military has very limited freedom of speech for obvious reasons. SMFH. Morons.

His dismal polling numbers have gone to his head.
