When are military uniforms allowed at political rallies? I took this picture off my TV today at a Trump town hall meeting.

The law is pretty clear about this. By ethical definition, the military does not involve itself in the affairs of state. Thats too much power.

That end... military members cannot be there in an official capacity. When you are in uniform you are in an official capacity.

4.1.1.9. In general a servicemember may attend partisan and nonpartisan political fundraising activities, meetings, rallies, debates, conventions, or activities as a spectator when not in uniform and when no inference or appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement can reasonably be drawn.

Is it one of those military towns?
Location may play a big part.
Then you also have retiree's that wear the uniform.
Even worse would be one of those stolen valor guys.

I always thought this stuff got filed under "common sense".

He is not at a campaign rally he is at a town hall forum. It does not show support for a candidate or a cause.

Hahahaha never! And he's an officer.

I am going to laugh my ass off if this guy is a Stolen Valor shmuck

I saw that live and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I would guess that he's retired. He knows the regs. The majority of E-1s know the regs.

You are not supposed to do that.
This is a serious ethical violation.

He's probably one of those guys who filmed his "surprise" homecoming. "Look at me! Look at me!", "What do you mean I don't get a discount?". You all know the type.
