My first diary entry. I am a liberal attorney on active duty in the USAF. I was enlisted in the Navy, but am now a commissioned officer in the AF. Once upon a time, I was fairly conservative and voted for Reagan and the current president's father - twice. Then I voted for Clinton (2nd term), Gore and Kerry. I find myself a bit of an oddball - liberal in a conservative bastion - the military.
Still I am a big supporter of the military. To use a phrase from my defense counsel days, I may be workin' for the man, but in doing so, I'm trying to effect change from the inside.
And, of course, in my diaries I will always be cognizant of the prohibition of Article 88, Uniform Code of Military Justice..."Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."
