Lately, I have seen a constant trend of disrespect towards the President and Commander in Chief. I know everyone has the right to their opinion and disagreeing with the President or his policies is fine in my opinion. To each his/her own. But to attack the man, Not his policies is in my opinion disrespectful especially from service members who are still on Active Duty. So my question is do you think this behavior is acceptable from our servicemen and servicewomen? Please try to stay professional.

It's never acceptable, and I've made a point of it several times. You don't have to like your boss in the military, but you do have to show respect to the office.

CPT Pc Arroyo - Well said sir, some of these people think that their active duty status trumps we that have served with dignity, honor and pride. They are from the generation where there are no losers and everyone expects/demands a trophy. I understand their hooraaaa attitude as I too was this way and would stand up against anyone who talked crap about the ARMY or the POTUS, but having said this I have since had my eyes open and see how they are for the most part sheep with blinders on and have no clue, just wild random rants about what being a patriot is, when in fact the 1st true patriots of this country were actually criminals who stood up and spoke out against their leaders and country. One if by land and two if by sea...... Funny how things get forgotten when it serves a purpose to someone.

Yet again, you both miss the point completely and hijack my response to someone else's question as your own rant forum. Enjoy your circle jerk.
Only the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT deserves automatic respect. This pathetic excuse for a human, let alone the POTUS, deserves no respect from any sensible American, and for several legitimate reasons: He is a proven, pathological liar; he is an irrefutable fraud as a politician; he has demonstrated his complete lack of concern for America in his foreign policy dealings with Arab nations; he has violated numerous provisions of the U.S. Constitution as they pertain to the Executive Branch; he has surrounded himself with persons of equal capacity for deceit, conspiracy, and contempt for the laws of the land; ad infinitum. I would not walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire. And don't anyone DARE bring up race. I despised Lyndon Johnson with equal disdain and for many of the same, legitimate reasons.

I love how some of these dimwits go after one person who down talks this fool but not others.
Regardless of UCMJ, the office of the President of the United States of America demands respect. I'm no fan of President Obama, but as far as I'm concerned, open blatant disrespect reflects more on the person doing the name calling than the person receiving it!

SFC A.M. Drake - Certainly, that's the minimum required. However, having respect for the position means that I give respect to a man that I wouldn't otherwise respect. Not a free pass to make personal attacks on the President.
