A couple of weeks ago, right-wing radio nut Melanie Morgan freaked out
about VoteVets.org chairman Jon Soltz, complaining that by speaking
out about Iraq, he's "in violation of the United States Marine Corps
Code of Justice." http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Vyan/218
Just a few problems with that.
1) There's no such thing as the "United States Marine Corps Code of
Justice"
2) Even if there was, Soltz is a captain in the Army, not the Marines
3) And he's also a member of the Reserves. According to Media Matters,
"military law does not prohibit reservists from engaging in political
activities. Indeed, several members of Congress are members of the
U.S. military reserve, including Rep. Stephen Buyer (R-IN), a colonel
in the Army Reserve; Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a colonel in the Air
Force Reserve; and Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL), a Naval Reserve intelligence
officer." http://mediamatters.org/items/200708140009
But Morgan wasn't finished yet!
She followed up her completely erroneous and stupid remarks with this
bombshell last week:

Jon Soltz is still a hypocritical cockroach.
He needs to be stomped on and neutralized before he and his ilk can
silence military support for the mission in Iraq.
Gosh, did she really just say that members of the United States
military who hold opposing viewpoints are "cockroaches" who need to be
"stomped on and neutralized?"
Way to support the troops, idiot!
