Every single soldier needs to be court martialed and their commanding officer needs to be docked for the lack of discipline.

A representative is not in their chain of command and can NOT give them orders. That means they came there of their own volition or under orders from their commander. That speaks to a lack of discipline or good decision making.

The Republicans need to hammer this and demand the UCMJ is thrown at them otherwise it'll only get worse.

"A representative is not in their chain of command and can NOT give them orders. "

Exactly.

Any OIC or NCOIC with balls would have refused orders from the Rep. on these grounds.

Exactly right. Biggest UCMJ violation I ever saw. Everyone of them in Uniform making a 'political statement' and everyone of them quit their post without being properly relieved.

Nah that makes way too much sense for Republicans to do.

It also assumes that the repugs didn't want this to happen in the first place.

Why are they allowed in the capital right now, when nobody else is even as citizens?

Not trying to start a fire, but they are citizens and US army soldiers.

That said, its definitely inappropriate for them to be following around a congressman for political visits under any pretense.

Guam is a territory. Not a state but definitely under our flag

I edited to remove "as a foreign ng" thanks for the correction.

GOPE: "But if we throw the book at soldiers breaking the UCMJ, Democrats will say we oppose the military! We need to keep letting the Dems abuse the military for political gain even if it's the stupid strategy that failed every time we tried it elsewhere."

Failed strategies? These are highly successful UNIPARTY strategies! They're only failed strategies if you mistake Republican leaders for MAGA patriots. They are not.

I would bet anything I have that if anyone ever came out and criticized this clear rule breaking, all the military leaders would come out of the woods to defend these pieces of shit. People on our side still think the rules are there to be enforced, even though they are only ever used to oppress our side. The reason for the rule banning political activity in uniform is to suppress the conservative majority of the rank and file in the military, not to make them impartial. The military hasn't been impartial for at least 20 years and probably longer than that.

We had that complete Blue Falcon buffoon Gen Russell Honore come out recently and flap his retarded face. But yeah, it goes back to the moron Wesley Clark who wanted to launch a war with Russia because it would make him look presidential.

We've had probably the worst generation of military leaders ever these past 20-25 years.

That tends to happen, in "peace time" (relative term as compared to wwii) battle efficacy doesn't get you promoted, doing a lot of push-ups and running fast does. If u look back to wwii, from 1941-1943 the navy got whooped pretty bad. That was what separated men from boys and we got guys like Nimitz in there and the war turned around.

What?

Doolittle raid, Midway, Coral Sea, Guadalcanal enters the room

And Nimitz became CINCPAC right after Pearl Harbor.

You act like the Banking Cabal wouldn't have infiltrated the top brass of the military. You know, literally the only ones who could stop them?

The Cabal uses blackmail, bribery, and blatant threats to achieve its goals. It literally controls the world's currency. They can censor and kill anyone who threatena their horrific agenda, because all that's required for them to do so is a handful of highly-paid enforcers.

You’re over-correcting on that, military leaders serve civilian leadership. The closer they get to the top, the closer they’ll align with DC politics out of self interest; the RINO-effect. The left is working diligently to corrupt the military, the effort to find ‘white supremacists’ in the ranks and pushing DEI/CRT, but don’t assume there aren’t willing participants. The founder of Black Rifle coffee made big Obama donations.

This is a Project Veritas video from 2013 by which point Obama had already effected a purge of senior officers. It’s struck me at the time, we’re perhaps at the last mile in the long march through the institutions. Just watch the last guy at the 10:00 mark:

Every single soldier should be sent home. Every officer and official involved, should be investigated by a joint House and Senate Special Committee.

Bogey 42 points ago +42 / -0

Yup. They were free to appear in civvies as Guam residents to express their political thoughts. Showing up in uniform is just them wiping their ass with the UCMJ.

I don't fully understand what happened in the video. What was in the basket and what were their intentions for the visit to MTG?

But the president is head of all of them. If this is allowed to stand, then that means Biden has allowed for this as well.

Biden is not in charge. At best, maybe Kamala is, but I doubt it.
