Yes indeed we do. Who are we? Why, we are none other than the Moonbat Kossacks. Although we hate the military, we do indeed LOVE those military regs of theirs.

No contrary voices allowed, as WE ARE PROGRESSIVES!

At the Yearly KOS Convention, during a “progressive” panel about the military, the moderator, John Stoltz, shouted down a young man in uniform when he rose to opine that the surge was indeed working and lowering Iraqi casualties. Mr. John Stoltz went absolutely moonbattingly berserk. Other members of the panel tried to answer the soldier’s question, however the boss KOSSACK ordered them to “stand down.” He then demanded the name, rank and serial number of the American serviceman and threatened to take him outside and whip his camouflaged rear KOSSACK. “Let me make this real clear to you Sergeant. Listen to me. If you use the uniform of our country to say something political … I will see to it that you never again wear the uniform of MY United States!”

To the rescue rode that white-maned progressive Army General, Wesley Clark, who took the reigns and rambled on about General Douglas MacArthur’s ramblings of many years ago about soldiers and politics. “We progressives silenced the soldier for his own good. We saved the sergeant from the long arm of military justice. More importantly, we saved his sorry hide from the wrath of our John the Bouncer-Moderator. To protest the war in his military uniform, as did our hero John Kerry a generation ago, is one thing.” (Picture Reminder) “But to ‘SUPPORT’ the war while in uniform is quite beyond the pale, and cannot be tolerated at our aptly named KOS Convention: “The Military and Progressives: Are They Really That Different?” … because, We Really Are That Different!”

Although it is quite a hoot indeed to have Daily or Yearly Kossacks enforcing DOD policy, Kerfuffles thinks that the Moonbats were probably correct in their interpretation of the military regulations. From them we learn that there is something labeled “DoD Directive 1334.01″ which emphatically states that it is against DoD policy for the wearing of military uniforms at meetings of totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive organizations. Case closed, Kossacks. You win!

3.1. The wearing of the uniform by members of the Armed Forces (including retired members and members of Reserve components) is prohibited under any of the following circumstances:

3.1.1. At any meeting or demonstration that is a function of, or sponsored by an organization, association, movement, group, or combination of persons that the Attorney General of the United States has designated, under Executive Order 10450 as amended (reference (c)), as totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive, or as having adopted a policy of advocating or approving the commission of acts of force or violence to deny others their rights under the Constitution of the United States, or as seeking to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means.

Here is the “official” video from KOS, which turned off the microphone of the Sergeant. Start at the 41:00 mark: Yearly KOS Video.
