[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And now the barracks lawyers have arrived. Servicemembers are permitted to participate in activities, including in uniform, if approved by their command. We watch football games with serviemembers present, in uniform. They are even acknowledged and thanked for their service. Think of all the military athletes that compete in the Olympics.

Her participation is good for the military, where participation is at critically low levels. The services are missing every recruiting goal. They need to modernize and establish a place where people want to servce. Many young, beautiful women have no interest in serving. This young woman’s position is an example of how these woman can participate and thrive in the military. We need more examples like her. [/quote]

Yes. Spending a Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field is exactly the same thing as spending a year fulfilling the Miss America contract that requires 24/7 availability to attend all appearances they schedule for you (that are not outlined in advance).[/quote]

No, maybe it's not the barracks lawyers who have arrived, it's those who are well-versed on the standards of conduct for military/Feds and who know what the laws are.

Violating ethics laws is criminal - period.

And using the same old "it's good for recruiting" or "it's good PR" trope isn't going to work anymore.

Unless US taxpayers are willing to pick up the tab for EVERY servicemember who wants to pursue whatever their private pursuits are on government time/dime, then this woman shouldn't be allowed to either.  That would leave absolutely no one in our barracks, including lawyers.
