News about section 88 and more.


"Section 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), also known as Article 88, addresses the offense of "Contempt toward officials." It specifically targets commissioned officers who use contemptuous words against certain individuals, including the President, Vice President, Congress, and other high-ranking officials."

This will now include off duty, social media, etc

Also planning on dropping high school diploma or GED requirement, presumably to open the doors for MAGATs and others without the mental capacity to refuse illegal orders.

2. Yes, that has been part of the UCMJ for centuries.

When I was in I would just say, "I didn't vote for the guy/gal."

4. Sieg Heil!

5. We know where this is heading.

He wants a mindless, loyal army, one that will obey any orders given, even immoral and illegal ones. The end game is to use these soldiers against the American public, like those at peaceful protests, or against judicial or political “enemies” who speak out against this regime.

Scary stuff.

7. Sure looks that way

8. Yes a Russian Nazi Army.

6. Lowering the standards is quite alarming. Remember, 50+% of Americans read below a sixth grade level.

9. Turning the US military into a not very bright organization with no moral core.

[Nigrum Cattus]

10. Many jobs in the military are very technical

So, good luck with lowering standards.

11. Last I checked, commissioned officers swear an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump or his stooges.

But I’m just some guy who thinks this stuff matters…or should matter.
