The oath to the Constitution is obviously a threat to the current administration.
Freedom of speach mother fuckers!!
Millions of speaches, speaches for me...
it’s you’re write to spell speech wrong, and i’ll fight to the death to defend that rite
Ow my brain.
Really winning over the troops with this one.
The entire point is to intimidate the troops, particularly those who would follow their oath to the Constitution. It's meant to be the stick, not the carrot
I get that.
I don't think this will be the thing that keeps troops on his side.
He's been out more than 8 years I'm going to bet and that's the limit for recall.
Ed: 2011.
If he is retired from the military and collecting a pension, he is still subject to the UCMJ.
That's not what the laws I've find say.
UCMJ Article 2 lists who the UCMJ applies to. Subsection a4 states:
Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay.
How do we know he even chose to collect, you don't have to and he's an astronaut there's a good chance he's independently wealthy at this point.
Federal law says 12 years, I thought it was 8 but it's 12 now.
