: The issue of GI rights is something that is often glossed over within the military. Can you have a bumper sticker that reads "Make Love Not War" in a car you drive on a military base? Can you attend an anti-war protest when off duty and not in uniform? These are questions that many GIs don't know the answer to, or will give the more restrictive answer. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 19:12, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

#Bumper stickers are up to the base commander: I've seen 'shit happens' censored for vulgarity. If it's literally "in" your car - not affixed to the bumper, then it's not a problem. ;-) Posters on the wall or your locker inside the barracks can also be regulated. Even off-post housing (for officers) gets inspected. You give up a degree of freedom to join the army.
#I don't know what "anti-war protest" means. Are you talking about a movement which advocates pacifism in general, on moral or religious grounds? Or a political rally which criticizes military policy, e.g. stop defending Iraq from insurgents? If it's the latter, check with your attorney before doing anything indiscreet especially if you are an officer.
None of this is related to CO by the way. You're talking about political activity. Try [[freedom of speech]] or [[free speech]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 23:51, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
