It's worse that that....Trump was right when he said the military were suckers and losers. All the ex-military that assaulted the Capitol were suckers for believing the lies of Trump. They were his puppets wrapped in flags.
There are millions of military veterans on the left and the right that had zero to do with what happened.
Quite a difference between choosing to sit at a table with someone and being in an organization with over 1 million people.There's a saying in Germany:
That if nine people sit at a table with one Nazi, there are 10 Nazis at the table.
Never served...huh?There's a saying in Germany:

I’ll wait until we see how it turns out. As long as she wasn’t in uniform and not claiming to be there as an official representative of the Army, she’s probably right; a citizen exercising her rights.We do:
1st Special Forces Command investigating PSYOP captain for involvement in Trump DC rally
A PSYOP captain is being investigated for her role in the Jan. 6 rally in Washington D.C.www.militarytimes.com
A serving captain.

She has a right to protestif you take the oath it only applies when you are in uniform ? Must be a new policy but I was in the service years ago......
Nope. Military still have rights, including free speech; the cannot wear uniforms nor use their military status for political purposes, however. Those that entered the Capitol are subject to military as well as civilian charges.if you take the oath it only applies when you are in uniform ?

Actually the military does not have free speech, anything they say in or out of uniform can be used against them. I remember when much of the military flat out hated obama, and we were flat out allowed to hate the commander in chief, however we could be punished for posting on facebook talking trash about him or participating in protests and political rallies, as the military is supposed to be non political, and every member of the armed forces is representing the military whether in uniform or not.Nope.

My mom immigrated to the US from Germany so no disrespect toward Germany as a whole, but that is a stupid saying.
