Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

[Wildkins]

This is a total joke

There is not a single military service on this entire planet that would allow an Admiral to speak their mind publicly and still remain at their post.

If the Navy wanted to maintain credibility they should have demoted the admiral, there is nothing preventing the player behind the character from creating a new Admiral to reflect their position within the Liberty Navy.

Punishment would be handed out and far less people would be upset; however the path the Liberty Navy (and by extension the Liberty Government) has taken tells me that the Liberty Government is nothing more than a joke that exists to only benefit those "in the know"

Woah, slow down there, partner.

DoD Directives specifically state that members of the military may possess and read any material they want, including anti-war material. They may distribute any such material even if it is critical of government policies of officials. Distribution may be limited - but not ceased - if the material presents "a clear and present danger to the loyalty, discipline, or morale of military personnel." That's 1325.6, for those interested.

1325.6 also states that military members' "right of expression" is preserved, including peaceful demonstrations against the government or the war, as long as it is done away from a military installation, while off duty, and out of uniform.

The only issue I've found that conflicts with what Baker has done here is covered under the UCMJ, which states that it is illegal to communicate "with the enemy", although the examples they give specifically refer to letters and other types of methods of communication. I'm willing to give a pass on this one, as this is less a communication with the enemy and more a propaganda-filled message/speech. Think the attempts at anti-propaganda the US has been creating recently.

Is it perhaps out of character for an Admiral? Probably, yes. But Baker has never been a traditional Admiral. I'm still thinking on whether or not she'll be punished inRP for her..."zealous" action, but I'm honestly leaning towards a no. I still think this situation is horribly overblown and not as serious as everyone is taking it, but maybe I'm wrong.
