Picture of a sailor in uniform at #occupyOakland

He's holding a copy of the Constitution.

They are trying to say that the explosions weren't flash grenades but M-80s. I don't think so. We had those all the time along with cherry bombs because SC sold every firework known to man. M80s are wicked, but there is a biiiiiiig difference.

An Iraq war veteran sustained a skull fracture and has brain swelling. The police say it wasn't possible to get medical help through. BASTIDS!

There was a tweet that Mayor Quan ordered the assault to occur while she was away even though the police chief didn't want to do that.

This is just WRONG! Every person who can get there should really show what #OCCUPYOAKLAND really means.

1. Is he allowed to?
If he's in service, aren't there rules against participating in political activities in Uniform?

If he's not (presumably a Veteran) is it considered acceptable to wear your Uniform publicly outside of Parades and related activities?

2. Is ows a political organization? I think not. It's an organization
of people dissatisfied with the direction this country is taking.
