Secretary of the Air Force, Troy E. Meink, Violates New Air Force Social Media Policy!

First Amendment violations aside, the stupidity of Meink's memorandum, dated 16 Sep 26, is hard to overstate.  But, of course, I wanted to do my duty and join the throngs of un-Americans serving up service members they don't agree with to the SecAF over social media opinions.  So I took to the Internet to see if I could find somebody violating his memo.

His memo states that "social media posts...that advocate for or condone violence in any manner...will be dealt with immediately."

It didn't take long to find a violation. I found one such social media post made just two days after this new guidance was issued.  I'm looking forward to him dealing with it immediately!

What a fucking moron....is also an example of speech under fire and threat of punishment in this brain surgeon's memo, which states that "offensive" or "inappropriate" language on social media will also be "dealt with."

Now I'm just waiting for Starbucks to follow the lead of this brainiac and issue its own guidance to employees preventing them from advocating or condoning coffee.
