Marine demonstrating in Beech Grove

[forgop]

Way to go in subjecting yourself being disciplined. This will not sit well with the King.

I'm not sure what your first sentence means, but while you are in uniform, shut up and sit down!

I don't know the consequences of this, but he can certainly be punished for it. I don't know if it's just a simple Article 15 he'd face or if there's a whole host of other repercussions like loss of rank, fines, discharge, you name it.

I believe he's permitted to do this in civilian attire, but in uniform, nope.

 

[Birds Away]

He may be a former Marine who decided to don the uniform just to make a statement. Who knows?

 

[Manatee]

He could be a member of "Men at Work".

 

[Jarhead77]

Upside down flag is a signal of distress, right. He may very well be in distress. Not sure that it is a punishable offense.
...but then again, I've been out since '90 and some things are bound to be different.

He still discraced the uniform. I wouldn't be surprise if some fellow marines "persuaded" him to stop.

Is that near the license branch on the West side of Emerson Ave just north of I-465?

A better question would be why is he doing this but I assume it has to do with the Government shutdown. No other signs.

Ok. Thanks, this makes a lot more sense now.

Likely. **edit** after reading the article this is true.

I disagree. He earned the right to wear that uniform. Now that he is now longer governed by the rules and articles of the UCMJ he allowed to have an opinion and voice it. There are 1000's of Marines that feel the same way that, as Que said, must sit down and shut up. Just because they took the oath doesn't mean they don't have an opinion.

He's more than welcome to voice his opinion-OUT OF HIS UNIFORM.

He is a disabled Marine Vet. He has every right to protest.

He's more then welcome to voice it in it! He has every right in the world to wear it and say what he wants. He's not on contract, he's breaking no rules. He's exercising his 1st Amendment rights. Why on earth should he not be allowed to wear the uniform that he earned.

**edit** It appears from your earlier post that you didn't read the article and that the Marine IS in-fact a veteran, no longer on contract. That being the case he's dong absolutely nothing wrong. Now if he was still on contract, correct civilian attire only.

Former Marine, discharged due to being disabled in combat. Not subject to UCMJ.

 

[Trooper]

He is disabled and discharged. No longer subject to the UCMJ. It is like John Kerry protesting as a vet against war.
As a combat vet he is authorized to wear a Class A uniform. I may not like any form of protesting but he is legal.

Basically he is a "PFC" - private f-cking citizen

Who cares if it's Article 15,or he's breaking a code of Military conduct! I commend this troop,we need more standing up against our illegal Muslim president.We all need to unite to take this Republic back & that's including Troops & the police!

What?

Why? Why? Just Why?

You really need to take Que's advice above or maybe think before you.....well.....think.

No. It takes an informed and energetic electorate.
