Marine discharged over online Obama comments

[2Ts]

A statement from the Marines said it approved the findings of a military board, which in March recommended the discharge.
The board found Stein violated rules limiting political conduct by service members.
The Facebook page for Stein's Armed Forces Tea Party had a post Wednesday saying the discharge will be postponed until the results of a medical condition, with which he was diagnosed Monday, are returned and treatment is discussed.

good, I'm glad. Its sends a strong message through the armed services. The military is not a democracy

I believe this guy was a reservist. If so he was only on duty 2 days a month and another 2 weeks out of the year.

This sort of speech was always illegal for officers. But not for enlisted. I don't see what the big deal is.

They should not punish this guy for his views.

During the Bush years, soldiers who spoke out against him were hailed as "heroes" by the left.

So long as they did their job, I couldn't care less what their opinions were. They're entitled to them, on their own time.

Sad, isn't it? This person simply expressed his opinion and got the boot. Meanwhile a Muslim traitor, who was a member of the armed forces, killed several unarmed military people on their own base is still breathing, being fed and cared for, awaiting trial.

Have any examples?
