Reply #25: It's not a "line of logic." It's US LAW. How many times do I have to repeat it before it sinks in? [View All]

You really ARE obtuse.

And I thought you didn't give a shit about the political arena any more--why aren't you off with your vegetables, yet? Still basking in the attention?

I know all about the Indianapolis. Everyone who served in the USN does. That was a ghastly situation.

And what, pray tell, does the treatment by DOD of vets have to do with US LAW? Because some administrations treat their vets like shit, that makes it "OK" to ignore law? That seems to be your "logic" with that ramble you posted. If anyone's having a logic fart here, it's you.

And if you have been politically involved for forty years, as you claimed, you don't have to worry about joining the military. Unless you're a Grace Hopper or a cardiothoracic surgeon with incredible skills, they don't want your old ass. Your window of opportunity is well and truly slammed shut.

But all that is apropos of nothing. If you serve with honor, you OBEY US law. You stay true to the agreement you made with your government when you enter service. That's a principled stand, even if you're so dull of comprehension that you cannot see that. We send our Senators and Reps to Congress to make those laws, and we protect our country and our system of government while in uniform. One of the deals we make, and we agree to, is that we won't campaign in uniform, or push a political party in uniform. Only an ASSHOLE goes back on their word, in addition to violating a law they agreed to abide by.

People who can't manage to obey the laws that they made a PROMISE to obey, and support, protect and defend their Constitution need to get the fuck out of service, resign that commission, not re-enlist, and then go on their merry way, doing what they please, to where ever their "principles" might take them. You don't break the law because you "feel like it" or because some government entity was "mean to you."
