jkramerjr, you are a fool, my questions will not get deleted, i am simply asking questions which is what this section is for.
some of you on here don't even know your own military. military are allowed to attend protests, political or otherwise, so long as they do not show up in their uniform

Nope, that's a political issue and by regulation people keep there political affiliations and issues to themselves. therefore, they are apolitical.

Military Break??? Protesting??? What have you been smoking? The only ex-military people I see protesting anything are those very few liberals who can't function too well in a military organization. No, thats not true. Some people function very well in the military and still don't understand the mission. That is what the military is all about, the Mission. That stuff about an army of one and accelerate your life is all about getting the mission accomplished. Some people can be very good soldiers but not become part of the military.
As to your ridiculous claims; there is no military break and soldiers are prohibited from protesting anything. And why abortion clinics? What are you smoking?

Why this summer?... You think that the military is like a school and gets a summer break? In any case I don't think that "the military" has a specific platform on abortion, tho individual members probably do have an opinion on the matter. Like all other citizens of this nation have a right to.... they perhaps more than most.... apter all they are the ones on the front lines of the fight to protect freedoms of expression from those that would suppress those rights.

Military members may be allowed to protest if they don't wear their uniforms, but if caught, they will be reprimanded..
And there's nothing wrong with having an abortion. It's actually SAFER to have an abortion, than going through with the complications of pregnancy and labor.
It's HER body, it's HER choice.

I think the military have far better things to be doing
than getting involved in political minefields.
If a woman wants to have an abortion then its for her to decide and not some religious fanatics.

Military members are not allowed to take part in public demonstrations, political rallies or rallies supporting any political or person cause. They may provide monetary donations to the charities and causes of their choice, but may not do anything in public to show support or disagreement for the government.

I believe the UCMJ prevents someone in uniform from protesting. Your question is political and moral in nature therfore, it does not fall under military jurisdiction.

#1. what in the hell do you mean on "break"? We dont get a summer break. We are busy training, road marching up hills with 55 lb. ruck sacks, going to firing ranges, running, practicing land navigation and teaching younger soldiers.
#2. no service member is allowed to act in any sort of protest
#3. go away
THANKS!!

What's this have to do with the military now....? Why would we be any different than a civy when it comes to this? Why would military be your target audience?
Those on 'military break' will likely be where they want to be: WITH THEIR FAMILIES.....tis a no-brainer.
