Active Duty Major calls for Trump to be impeached and removed

It's not an arguement, Huey. I literally copy/pasted military regulations (not to mention I lived it for 20+ years). BUT to answer your question, Trump is a civilian, not a military member. Hence why I get so pissed at the double standard between the IC and politicians.
So, no, my arguement doesn't fall flat. It's backed up by both official DoD regulations and personal experience.
You're just throwing out your opinion based on emotion only.
"Ladies of my class" they are 40 now. We good.Maybe don't continue calling 8th graders fine once you grow to be an adult
And I have been in full-blown TDS mode since Trump obstructed the release of the Epstein Files.

Buckle up. Huey just woke the beast. Huey's getting taken behind the woodshed (again).

It was mostly this idea I was referencing. It’s not what he said that makes him a patriot. It is precisely the fact that he put his own well-being at risk… ”voluntarily”… to make a statement. That makes him a patriot and a (small “h”) hero.
Plenty of people say the same things he’s saying. Plenty of people - you and me included - agree with what he said. None of us are front page news.
Very few would risk what he has to make that statement and draw the attention he has. Had he stood there in civilian clothes and said exactly the same thing… no one would have cared.
While still infinitely better than the MIB, it’s amazing how many blowhards on the far left can’t read either.No. They still have free speech rights, but those rights aren't unlimited while serving on active duty. The military places restrictions on certain political activities to preserve good order, discipline, and political neutrality. That's part of the job we ALL voluntarily accepted. (there's no draft
Did I say I supported it? I'm not advocating for anything, so take the emotion out of it. I'm simply explaining that his particular actions do, in fact have consequences. When you serve, you do have to give up some personal freedoms. Hell, not once in 20 years did I get to choose the city I lived in--the miltiary chose that for me. Not once did Iget to decide, Na..I think I'll skip work today and go to the beach.
He’s front page news and you’re not. He risked his livelihood. You don’t. See the difference?
I am in 100% agreement with you, but unfortunately, as they say, themselves the breaks.

No, the double standard between military (IC) and politicians.By Chis?
Like getting triggered by a puppy who sh*ts on the living room rug.
Oh, 100%, he's risking more than you and me on a messageboard for sure. I'll assume he knew the risks, and if so, good on him. If not, he'll have a much harder time with this.
I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking about the people he put directly in charge of the military.
You saw how emotional he was when he got the WPOTY prize, right? He brought it up then even though he couldn’t care less about it…
Please tell me when you're moving the goal posts. I simply explained why this spefic Major will face consequences for his actions. Period. nothing more. If you don't like that I provided the reason why, please take your complaint to Congress and the Department of Defense (I refuse to call it the Dept of War).
And Sam Adams threw a tea party.
The resistance has to start some where and it often doesn't have to start big.
Yes, I see the difference. And I am still unimpressed.
If being front page news is the criteria for achieving patriotism, then Kyle Rittenhouse and the 1/6 Capitol Crusaders are the Samuel Adams of our time.
If the day ever comes where I claim patriotism status for being an armchair quarterback on an anonymous message board, then perhaps you’ll have a point.
But, yeah, the guy has balls, I will give him that. I only hope in the end it was worth it to him.
Whiskey Does Donald Trump has gotten to the point he actually believes his own lies and bullsh*t.
It was pretty neat standing in the room where it was planned.
We both agree that active military are not allowed to attend political rallies while in uniform, correct?
So please explain how Hegseth and Trump can hold political rallies and force active military to attend in uniform?
Do you see why we're complaining about a double standard here?
As for you comment to direct my complaints to the Defense Department. What? The DoD is a political organization now. Which is kinda the point of why claiming this guy can't go to political rallies is dumb.
Anybody else want to take a stab at why it's okay for Trump and Hegseth to hold political speeches, and force active military to attend in uniform?
Or fire all top leaders who are women or black? This is precisely the time to do what this Major did. Period
No. They still have free speech rights, but those rights aren't unlimited while serving on active duty.

Super. When you break those rules you're removed and lose your pension. Not arrested for speaking your opinion. Put some emotions back into maybe and you'll see how absurd it is
If we want to keep the active military insulated from active politics, then lets do that. On both sides.
Because claiming that Red rallies are okay but Blue aren't is bullsh t.
It stuns me some on here are defending this.
You align with Scrubby and use the R word while claiming to be a school teacher. You're a puke
I bet. I really want to take my son out there when he gets to history/civics classes that really teach the Revolution more.
Hardly surprising.
Conflating what the major did with the violent actions of those on the right marks you as an idiot here. Care to rethink this remarkably idiotic point?
I thought you said you saw the difference between what the major did and why you do? Did I misread that first comment?
That’s pretty much up to him. You don’t get a say on that one.
