| Don't Criticize the Commander in Chief Army Spokesman Reminds Employees and Civilians Not to Criticize Commander in Chief | The Weekly Standard Excerpt: Stephen D. Abney, the chief public affairs official for the Army’s Joint Munitions Command, recently sent a message to all 6,000 employees he speaks for: Don’t criticize President Barack Obama or any political party to members of the press. The message was received by civilian contractors as well.

| I will talk bad about anybody I want as long as I don't represent any company or do it on company time.

| I guess I always understood that if you serve in the military - you don't badmouth your commanders - privately, or among friends, or publicly. Since the President is the commander-in-chief - he counts, too. If you do NOT serve in the military, you're free to mouth off as much as you like.

You could bad mouth all you wanted privately, publicly it has never been acceptable.

| It says a lot that a memo like this would even have to be sent.
