GOP violating military rules at their Convention
Eric Alterman makes a nice catch.
The RNC convention week is boasting that it has 144 active duty military delegates at the convention or three percent of the total.
But according to DOD Directive 1344.10:
4.1.2. A member on active duty shall not:
4.1.2.1. Use his or her official authority or influence for interfering with an election; affecting the course or outcome of an election; soliciting votes for a particular candidate or issue; or requiring or soliciting political contributions from others.
The disgrace that is the Republican Convention continues....
Update: Alterman has updated his piece...saying that they are reserves, not regular military.
But the RNC sure managed to get that delegate list off of their website in a hurry...LOL
