Disrespectful, or not? That seems to be the question with this photo. I for one like it. I think it shows love for Country. A Country that has spent it's entire existence defending and protecting babies just like the one that you see in the pic. I was not going to post on this because Lord knows everybody has an opinion on the subject and to be frank, I think I've expressed mine well enough. So, we need to ask ourselves what the real question is. Disrespectful or against the law? That is the real question we face.
Fact. It is against the law. I won't share another link, you can google Title IV USC and read for yourself. It's not that long and although I have read and studied it several times I could not receipt it verbatim. Furthermore the Sailor that you see in the pic could and should be brought up on charges under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
To cut to the chase, it doesn't matter how I feel about the pick. We should ask ourselves what laws can we break and what law do we uphold. To put this in perspective, you should not have American Flag T-shirts, bandanas, jackets, etc... One should only wear the Flag on a lapel pin. Now most of us break that law (I know I do, I am nor have I ever claim to be a Saint, ever).
So let's say you're driving down the interstate at 80mph but the speed limit is 70mph. You have places to go so it's no big deal right? Just the speed limit. Everybody does it. What if I'm walking though the parking lot at Wally World or your apartment complex, the park, or wherever. I see some change in the console of your car and decide to help myself. It's just fifty-three cents. No big deal, right? I mean really, it's just $.53 cents people!!! Get over it. We all steal or have stolen it the past. It might be that pen you stuck in your pocket, your friends lighter, or that fifteen minutes at work that you should have been working but instead spend the time shopping online or doing brackets.
What laws do we break? Why have the law?
