An Air Force major was charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for publicly calling for the commander in chief to be removed from office while in uniform. The charges raise a direct question about what military personnel can say and where they can say it.
Military law restricts certain kinds of speech by service members, but prosecuting an officer for public criticism of the president pushes those limits in a new direction. The case hinges on whether speaking in uniform about removing a sitting president counts as conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, or whether it's protected speech about a political matter. It's a test case for how narrow or wide military speech restrictions actually are.
