How do you feel about veterans or Soldiers criticizing our President?

What happened to the Freedom of Speech, so far 3 IDIOTS who sat in the White House who did more harm to this Country just to satisfy their agenda Clinton, Obama, Biden, there will probably be more in the future, got to have Great Leaders not fools

It is my opinion that as an American regardless of status you have the right to say what you want. That is not saying you won’t have the consequences that come with that right. I also feel that as a military member we should at least do our best to do our due diligence before laying criticism at a presidents feet. In other words stop allowing the media to form our collective opinion and learn to form an opinion for ourselves.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not to their own facts”.
As long as criticism is based on logic and facts, it is great. But repeating conspiracy theories with no evidence is not good regardless of whether you are in the service or not.
Have facts when you share a criticism with someone.

While on active duty respecting the president is part of the job good bad or indifferent. Retired your free to speak our mind. In my case I stayed on duty for an extra 6 months so that my retirement paperwork would reflect Bush 2;s signature rather than Clinton's

From what history tell us, even Hitler's troops held various opinions about him, and though few probably openly criticized der Furher some of his general officers tried to make him kaputt. I had a very low opinion of Nixon as C-in-C, and probably said some negative things about him too -- but I never tried to overthrow him or his administration, or did anything treasonable. Don't think so, anyway. But I can never rubber-stamp 'approval' on any politico, Prez or not. I M Humble O.

Simon Black, of Sovereign Man, writes the following, which is a necessary read for us to understand just how harmful the democrats have been to our military and our country:
I have pointed out the ridiculous and traitorous actions by Gen. Mark Milley that has caused much harm to our military

I am extremely disappointed in some of you veteranscwho either never read the words in your oaths of enlistment/commissioning, or simple dint comprehend the English language. It states tat you swear to " SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, AND BEAR TRUE FAITH AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME." It the states that you will OBEY the orders of the President and those appointed over you. There is not one single word in that oath where I swore to bear allegiance to any President. As such, for anyone to question me on honoring that lifelong oath is both insulting and an admission of your own ignorance.

I’ve said it before and likely on this post years ago. Any veteran who encourages an active duty member to criticize the commander in chief should be ashamed of themselves. Period. We’ve all served under crappy presidents that we didn’t agree with, but we did our duty regardless. As service members we signed away any rights we had as citizens of this country and are subject only to what congress deems are our rights and in what form. Freedom of speech included. Now that we’re out we have regained our rights as citizens and are free to express them, regardless of how distasteful they may appear to anyone and everyone else. Frankly as a veteran I feel more empowered to speak up when I see our commanders in chief acting unpresidential. However, leave the active duty members out of it. Demonstrate a modicum of the honor you served with and do not encourage a service member to dishonor themselves.

Your post made me aware that we didn't have these issues to deal with back in my days, at least not on a full national and world wide awareness as it is today. I can't even comprehend what I would do if I was in the military today. I took an oath to protect this country from any and all, does that include a corrupt government or administration?. Exactly what does that mean anymore today? I suppose the "if" question for today should be, did you sign up to give your life for this country or didn't you?

Social media is a good and bad way to express your opinions. Everyone has the right to express your thoughts. There are times though you need to keep your opinions to yourself. I served so everyone can have the freedoms allowed us. I respect my superiors and the titles of those in charge. I do not necessarily respect the person themselves. I swore an oath and too many forgot what it says. We may need to revisit it and read it over again
