Walk into any military common room and watch Fox news or Newsmax.
The worst that I saw 20 years ago is just our command telling us to vote… but suggesting that we vote Republican. (It was supposedly about getting paid more or some shit like that.)
That’s such a clear violation of DoD Directive 1344.10 (equivalent of the Hatch Act), holy shit.
Yeah, it was stupid and we knew it. (I clarified my wording above slightly, btw. However, a military command “suggesting” something is meant to mean that “you gunna do it”.)
Even suggesting it is a violation.
No they haven’t. Even if you report them to the FBI, they will get referred to the military’s counterintelligence commands, like the Army’s 902nd military intelligence group. These are mostly the right leaning folk who joined the military to be cops. In one of my interviews with the counterintelligence agents he basically started answering his own questions and then just told me he was going to get somebody to vouch for the person. My identity was apparently leaked because multiple people know, including the commander, the investigator, the other people who work in the office where the person being reported also works. I’m sure I’ll find out later that he knows as well. It’s all a shell game. The exception to FBI policy was specifically built so that the military could hide these things. Giving commanders the ability to look the other way on crimes gives them a special power over people and a special knowledge of how to get away with illegal acts. The people they want to succeed can get away with anything and the people that are the wrong race or religion or whatever. Just get to deal with some dude that joined the army and now has power over him. The rules were written this way on purpose.
Thanks for the info. Sorry that happened to you.
Wonder if these folks meant to apply to the 🛑ctagon…Probably a better fit culturally and intellectually
For all the Pentagon’s bluster and supposed might, simple math proves the octagon is at least three stronger.
In light of your comment I’m formally declaring
