Conservatives and supporters of the MAGA movement were angered on Tuesday in response to a report that Air Force members in North Dakota were advised to avoid attending a pro-Trump rally.

The criticism from conservatives comes as many have continued to take aim at the U.S. Department of Defense. Senator Tommy Tuberville has previously vowed to block Defense Department nominations over his opposition to abortion policies. House Republicans also recently voted to reduce Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's salary.

"Leadership at Air Force base in North Dakota warns airmen not to attend rally featuring Turning Point Action's Tyler Bower or risk 'jeopardizing' military career," Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, said on X, formerly Twitter. "The DoD has declared WAR on conservatives. Congress should immediately investigate this absurd, unhinged threat."

On Tuesday, Fox News reported that members of the U.S. Air Force at the Minot Air Base in North Dakota received a text regarding the Dakota Patriot Rally which is being hosted by Turning Point USA on November 17.

"Leaders, please exercise caution if downtown this weekend," the text obtained by Fox News said. "We just got word of an event going at the fairgrounds downtown called Dakota Patriot Rally. It's guest speaker is from an alt-right organization called Turning Point Action."

"Additionally, please remind them that participation with groups such as Turning Point Action could jeopardize their continued service in the US military," the text added, according to Fox News.

The guy who originated that message should be court-martialed for violating his Airmen*s rights. The people who forwarded it down the line should all be demoted one rank.

True you may not be totally free but you didn't sign up to eliminate your rights when not occupied doing your job, So hookers. bars, are ok but they forbid going to a political rally to decide who to vote for or does the air force tell them who to vote for?

Air force personnel might not have all their rights but they are allowed to keep their hands in their pockets, so there's that.
