Out of Pod Experience

You're still considered a "reservist". IRR, inactive, etc. is still part of the contract, so yes, you would fall under the UCMJ. However , to properly charge you they'd have to call you back to active duty, start the investigation (alternatively, start the investigation, then call you back to AD when they have the evidence), convene an Article 32 hearing, then go from there. In many instances, it'd just be a letter sent home saying, "Hey, don't do this. It's bad and you can be charged for it." It's all about the cost and if they want to pursue it.

Ehhhhhh, that depends. If you're a Marine veteran and use your cammies, you can be hit with charges of failure to obey a directive, which is not to wear cammies in public. However, since you said 'BDUs' I'll assume you're Army, and thus allowed to walk around in them in public.

You can't make political statements in uniform, nor can you invoke rank or branch of service while out of it. This applies to officer and enlisted, though there may be additional stipulations for officers. I'm a terrible officer who was promoted from the enlisted ranks and never attended OCS. <.<

I can look it up for you, if you'd like.

Interesting takes...


So far, the Tea Party movement has been the most prominent, and it has been dominated mostly by Republicans.
Now, Occupy Wall Street is becoming a national movement, and it is being dominated mostly by radical leftists and socialists.
Both movements have attempted to appeal to the growing core of libertarians in this country, and to a certain extent both movements have had some success.

Despite the sincerity of most Occupy Wall Street protesters and their desire to close down Wall Street and even the Federal Reserve, the movement is quickly becoming a catch-all for socialists and large unions determined to tax millionaires out of existence.

Ok so we got people saying "those hippies protesting on Wall St. yet that "left" thing that hippies are associated with is hijacking the Wall St. protest.

(NOTE: the REAL hippies from the 1960s were not leftists, nor rightist, or any kind of "ist" nor did they follow any kind of "isms". I know a lot of old original hippies and there are two things I can say: 1. They hate both political parties and 2. They were right about the future they warned us about decades ago).



But we also see, right up to a snide comment by Mittani, the "those evil coservative Tea Partiers" crap - another movement that started out with good intentions and got hijacked by political hacks bending it to their own means

But it’s now a year later, and the Tea Party seems to be transforming from a libertarian gathering to promote less intrusive government and celebrate our freedoms to a neo-con group promoting War in Iran, criticizing immigrants and diversity, and persecuting those with different religious views. Rachel Maddow and David Weigel from The Washington Post have provided excellent coverage of this transformation from the very beginning, interviewing libertarian bloggers like Steve Gordon and Jason Pye and even interviewing Congressman Ron Paul to gain their perspective on the Tea Party hijack. Maddow was shocked to learn that three so-called Tea Party supporters challenged the inspiration behind the Tea Party — U.S. Rep. Ron Paul — for Congress in his rural Lake Jackson/Victoria area district in Texas..

I recall a year ago during the so called "rise of the Tea Party" hitting a "progressive" radio station fearmongering every false platitude of the movement. It was all about the big bad Sarah Palin out to get everybody when in fact the Tea Party was 40 percent democrats BEFORE the FOX (right) media started to say she was the mother of it. Yet the Left-leaning radio station parrotted and harped on the same false premise. Anybody with a browser could find the truth. But who at the radio station was called up by who at the RNC to spew the lies?

That was the intention. It's called Full Spectrum Dominance.


So what's new here?

Nothing. Protesting Wall St is a good idea because of their crimes. But that movement gets hijacked. Protesting overbearing government is a good idea but that got hi-jacked too.

All that left is for brainless sheeple like yourselves to fall for the ruse. If you go about thinking the Tea Party is what it was never intended to be (a bunch of neo-nationalists out to make you goose-step in hackboots) or thinking the protestors on Wall St. are a bunch of hippies and leftys, then congratulations: you got fooled. You were not paying attention.

Most of the empire of lies upon which your prison is built - like The Matrix for example - depends on you not paying attention.

Now go find a mirror and admit you were wrong, if any of you are capable of that, and then press on with some more discernment.

Do it, or else you'll find yourselves in a war or a cage.

Here's an interesting one. Note the "building coalition" headline on Freedom Watch?


Well, there WAS one, now people are sitting around going "those hippies on Wall St....."


Works as intended. There is a reason why the call the news and TV schedule "Programming".


If you had the wrong impression, you were programmed.

How does it feel to be weak?

Because this problem only started to happen after he got elected and could be fixed in less than a single term of office

That man set the seeds for what we are suffering now. Turns out, banks DO need regulation.

Not to mention that the current crisis is far far worse than back then.

Yeah I've been duelling with the "insiders" who got their marching orders in 2009 to go with "Obama this and Obama that". Try to remind people that Obama is Bush's third term, and that both parties work for the same bosses, and you get all kinds of labels thrown at you.

The goal, as usual it, out with the old boss, in with the new boss, getting the same boss.

But what does change is the complaining: the people who complained about what Bush did are silent now that Obama is doing the same thing. The people who complain about what Obama does will be silent when they get their own bankster puppet in place - these were also the same people who became silent when Bush started doing the very things they complained about when Clinton did it.

What I wonder is, what kind of leverage do they hold over Limbaugh, Maddow, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Matthews (note I am naming BOTH the left and right media sock puppets) to avoid the truth? Where they caught messing with kids? Closet lifestyles? Drug use? It must be a real collection of dirt to keep these people in such a line that they would have any credibility left only with people are are either brain dead or love being conned.
