U.S. Military Members Post Facebook Photos Opposing Syrian Intervention - IMAGE






-snip-

There have been quite a number of these photos being posted to the Facebook page, including this collage put together featuring nine military members saying they didn’t sign up “to fight for al-Qaeda in a Syrian civil war.”

... posting photos like these online could have some serious repercussions for commissioned and non-commissioned officers, since the Uniform Code of Military Justice warns against making “contemptuous words” against the President of the United States with a potential court-martial as punishment.

Of course civil disobedience by active duty personnel is not a good thing. I sympathize with the statements, however.

And that there could be 8 people posting all at the same time from different units? Or military groups. Yeah, don't think so. The marine guy is posted twice. The backgrounds in most of them are exactly the same. It defies the odds for sure.
