Should contemptuous remarks against the president be reported and punished?

It's put there for a reason. It is one thing to disagree, but a different thing to threaten.

This Article is correctly directed toward "commissioned officers." Sometimes officers forget they are officers of the United States in addition to being Army officers or Air Force officers. They have a greater responsibility to set an example than their warrant and non-commissioned subordinates. The Article demands respect for the offices. This is the reason I kept my disagreements with the Democrat Presidents of my days in uniform to myself and equally my support for Republican Presidents quiet. I served all commanders-in-chief equally. Later as an Army Civilian I rarely discussed politics and discouraged my subordinates from doing so. It was too divisive. The Article should be enforced with care to prevent its application from becoming political.

Yes and No.

I believe that this should carry more weight with leadership. As troops, I feel we can hold our opinion, and speak openly about it, however should not be discussed in public (especially in uniform). Leaders also should not use their rank (and voice), to speak openly for (or against) the president.
