Default Thousands of active duty soldiers to march on the Whitehouse for Ron Paul.

If thousands of active military marching on the White House, and turning their backs on the President doesn't wake a lot of people up to the realities of the direction our country has been heading, then their is truly no hope.

Keep in mind, these are ACTIVE military in uniform marching on the White House which is more than frowned upon. They are going to make sure that their voices are going to be heard.

Wake up people!!

PS. Be sure to watch the very powerful 20 minute speech at the bottom. It actually put me in tears.

They better check with their comander first, I do believe there are rules against active duty personnel doing this. If it is against the rules they could all face charges under the UCMJ and be in Big trouble.

Not unless they're in uniform. You cannot prohibit active soldiers from campaigning.

That is directly against the UCMJ. You cannot get involved in a political rally or cause while in uniform. I'm all for the sentiment - but all these service men and women would be court-martialed and kicked out.

Nothing worse than disrespecting our marshall class (military) - you do not waste human resourses running about Afghanistan or Iraq..looking for the proverbial master terrorist..like the now soggy Bin Ladin...Lives were wasted - and the military mis-used..and they are rightfully pissed off.

If it's thousands however, it's unlikely anything will happen to them as a group. If a few did it, different story. There would be too much public outrage.

Sounds like their will be many thousands. The point is they are pissed off. Do you seriously believe they care or are afraid of getting tossed in jail? If thousands of troops show support of a specific candidate, that tells you a lot. The President is the Commander in Chief after all, and who would know more about foreign policy than actual soldiers on the field.

Again, wake up!
