Do you think military service members should be prosecuted under UCMJ for disrespect to the Commander-in-Chief? I say absolutely, YES!

Should this even be a question? Bad mouthing your Chain of Command publicly should always carry the consequence of UCMJ action.

Depends. This is an incredibly ambiguous question. If you're at home in civilians talking to family, you should be able to express whatever opinion you want. If you're communicating in a civilian forum as a civilian (like commenting on a political news blog), then first amendment applies. If you're at work around other troops, that's obviously a no-go. If you're posting from a civilian account to a military forum, I'd say that's a no-no as well since your military affiliation is obvious. If you're posting on a civilian forum as a civilian, but your profile shows you in uniform, again, no go.

No, if that were the case we would have a lot of E-1's in todays Military. Remember, you don't have to like the person but you better respect the rank. I respect the Office of The President of the United States but I don't respect the person holding it.

Lol, is this really a discussion topic?

Then let us take another perspective. As a member of the Armed Forces, do you believe each service members' rights under the United States Constitution is suspended?

Also, if you refer to your Oath of Service, it says you will defend the United States and its Constitution from enemies, foreign and domestic. It does not say to defend the president, nor anyone else, because politicians come and they go.

For any true disrespect to the POTUS, one must plege allegiance to him and him alone.

Getting back to the suspension of Servicemembers' rights, this means they cannot vote. Did you vote? If you are married, did you ask the POTUS for permission to have a wife? Appearantly, you think any right you may have must be given to you by the POTUS and do not forget, if you have children, did you ask for permission to have them. As we all know, he is pro-abortion.

Sure! Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Then again, it could be worse. You could just be executed by anti-air fire.

If I was Commander-in-Chief and my troops were upset with me about something, I would want to know. I would want to listen and decide whether their complaints were valid, whether something could be done to resolve them.

Sometimes the work is difficult, the situation bad, and all we can do is cope the best we know how given where we are and what we have to deal with. Sometimes nothing can be done to resolve that except to get through it. And as Commander-in-Chief I would be the first to remind my troops of that, and tell them I pray to God they will still support me, especially in tough times, that care about them and will listen and respond to them.

But to simply tell the troops to silently sacrifice themselves and their families to my causes without voicing their concerns, I feel, would make me a cold-hearted boss who doesn't understand that people's lives aren't things I can take for granted, wheeling them around on chessboards like pawns that have no value.

And if that's whom we have for a president, then we need a new president. Not in 2016. Right Now.

I say absolutely not... Normally I would say yes, however, we have some far left wing kooks (not saying the Pres) who have taken over our political system. Its high tide that somebody sticks up against liberals. our senior leadership isn't doing it. So the mission falls on our NCOs and lower enlisted to speak the truth

I say no!! He's more of a figure head not really a commander

Every hear of the 1st Amendment???

In uniform the UCMJ rules... off duty and unofficially there is no doubt that "Political Speech" is what the 1st Amendment is talking about...
