A Right-wing Anti-Obama superPAC, "Special Operations For America", is using five U.S. military insignias to push its agenda to fund Romney's campaign, including the U.S. Special Operations Command, Army, Marines, Air Force and the U.S. Navy.
Thing is, they have been authorized to do so, and may have to remove the insignias, or face a legal challenges, according to the Department Of Defense.
This is exemplary of the reports dating back a few months ago when Gary Stein founder of the Armed Forces Tea Party Facebook page, was discharged for violating U.S. military policy involving expressing ones' own politics in uniform.
What this illustrates is a lack of respect for the uniform, and for the armed forces who put their lives on the line to defend this country and not wear their politics on the battlefield.
The Republican party has stepped beyond the line when it comes to its political ideology. And I can not help but feel that when using the symbols of our military to pitch their partisan beliefs in such a dishonest way, it more than crosses the line.
It spits on it.
And if this disgusts you, good. It disgusts me too!
