Technically, unless it's dress blues, he's not allowed to wear uniforms unless it's a sanctioned event (parade, ball). |

Absolutely....take lots of pictures....send them to his old unit....I'm sure they'll be real proud of him, too (don't forget to include the return address on the envelope). |

No, active duity marines arent supposed to where there uniform to political events becuse that one marine does'nt represent the whole voice of the marine corps. I can't remember if its against orders but it will definatly be looked doun upon. |

Talks cheap. Where will the protest be located? I'm sure there are plenty of Veterans groups that would love to show up and exercise their Constitutional rights.
It's well known on Yahoo Answers that you're a spineless coward and would never be man enough to voice your opinion face-to-face... |

military members can not participate in any political activities or protests in uniform, simply because it appears tot he public that they are speakin on behalf of their unit or branch. its right in the UCMJ (i forget which article, tell him to watch more AFN its on there ) plus it is perfectly lawful for any employer to tell an employee what they can do off duty if they are in that employers uniform. the military is no different. |

If he does, he will be sanctioned,and possibly court martialed. The soldiers are governed by the UCMJ, not by the regular law of the land, as guaranteed by the constitution. Don't believe me, talk to someone from JAG. |

He can do whatever he wants, but he better hope nobody from the Military sees him because Active Duty Military aren't allowed to attend protest in their uniform.
For the record, I think this is just another one of your crazy made-up stories. |

No he cannot - he will be considered a traitor by his Marine buddies and all other military branches - Leavenworth is where he will end up. If he wants to march then he should wear civilian clothes. |

Under UCMJ, military members cannot participate in protests or political assemblies in uniform. You told your nephew wrong. You're a De de dee. |

Is your nephew still on active duty or in the reserves etc? If so not only can he not wear his uniform, it is also against the UCMJ to to participate in any activity that directly or indirectly protests against the US Government and or US Military (DoD) it is an offense punishable by the punitive articles of the UCMJ. |

It would not be a good idea. He could be video taped and indentified, in which case he will have a problem with the UCMJ. At the very least he may very well find himself transferred to Diego Garcia, Adak, Alaska or some other scenic wonderland. Punitive transfers are not uncommon. |
|
no no
|
he can if he wants to be dishonorably discharged!!!! what kind of marine is he anyway? What ever happened to Duty, Honor, Country? Seriously, it is against military policy to attend such functions in uniform. This country will only remain the home of the free because of the BRAVE! You lilly livered COWARD. |

You moron LOL don't you know anything about the rule in the UCMJ(Uniform Code of Military Justice)? If your nephew wears his uniform to a rally then he can be prosecuted and put into Fort Levenworth(Not sure on the Spelling). Not only that but he will be picked up as a token by the liberal media and have his life destroyed. He will also be tormented by his fellow marines. I know that if I was still in I would beat the crap out of him if I saw him in a rally. Oh yea and while he is in the military it is illegal for him to even go to an antiwar rally. Know your facts before you try to destroy your nephew's life. |

N O, It is illegal to wear a uniform to any protests.
This is according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. |

He can do anything he wants and should realize that while he's doing his thing the Marine Corps folks will probably do there's if you get my drift.. It is a tight fellowship that will go to hell and back to bring a fallen Marine's remains back home. That said, they have a code of conduct and as long as you are wearing the uniform of the USMC you will do so in a responsible manner, end of conversation. So your trying to get as many military people as possible to protest? Scum bag!! |

He can wear his uniform, but hopefully no one from the millitary will see him, or any extremists, because they might bring him harm. |

Me thinks perhaps your father, who abandoned you and mom was a Marine. So sad, but do stop taking out your hate on all Marines. |

Do you know what my favorite thing is about people like your "Marine Nephew," that we've all heard so much about? They are perfectly willing to take the government's money and reap the benefits of the Military lifestyle during peacetime, but when it comes to any sort of conflict, they want to cry foul. What was it that he was expecting when he enlisted - spelling bees and bake-offs? It's unfortunate that "marines" like your nephew are giving a black eye to the men and women in this country who have done the duty that they have sworn to do, with dignity. If it were up to me, he wouldn't be allowed to dawn the uniform of a marine - period. |

Afghanistan must be the legal part of the war on terror. What the Allied forces have been able to do is isolate Iran. This I believe is the main objective in occupying Iraq. At the same time it keeps Syria away from Iraq and Iran. They have gone into the heart of the terrorist world. The military needs all the support it can get. |

I DONT THINK I WOULD....
SOMEONE MIGHT THINK HE IS A WAR PROTESTER
unless of course, he is a war protester... |

cav

is he still in the military? then no he absolutely can not for at least three reasons i can think of: you uniform is only to be worn for military purposes,there is a clause in the regs that specifically addresses the wearing of the uniform for political gain or aknowledgement, and last but not least, it would be considered a disgrace to the uniform
if your nephew wnats to do this have him go kiss an officer so he can get out of the marines they dotn need his kind, why wuld you join if you oppose the war? marines are forn line first reaction troops, wtf? |

yeah, why not...he can wear a g-string and cowboy hat if he wanted to...this is the USA. He just shouldn't denouce his superiors in public if he is on active duty -Common sense reasons and possible negative actions could result. |

Yes he can. It will show that a service person has seen the light. Do take off the Marine corp emblem. |

your nephew is a dirt bag i hope he goes to jail we didnt have a good reason to invade iraq but when he signed those papers to join the marine corps he lost is right to protest you protesters dont know anything about war you get everything you know about it from CNN im sure if you could you would spit on us and call us baby killers damn hippies i love my country we dont get to pick and choose the battles we fight i would punch your nephew in the face if he was in my unit |

Only if he has a Death Wish. Wearing a military uniform at any event such as stated could cause physical harm to them. The Marines are a Proud Group as are all of us who served in different branches of the Service. People who protest war as a rule have no idea what they are really protesting about because of bad info. |
|

people who protest war as a rule do so because they don't like war; informed or not.
when all achievements made are likely to stand for very little in a muslim country, it's an extreme shame these boys are being blown up, maimed, and losing their minds over an ultimately intangible cause. |
