Just to expand on my question a bit, I recentely came across a blog written by a guy in the US Military. His picture showed him in full uniform and he states he is the Air Force reserve.
My issue is he has some quite extreme religious views and for example calls gays 'perverts' , scientists 'stupid' for believing in evolution, and comments on Muslims in Britain and Obama.
I agree that everyone is entitled to their views but I don't think someone should be able to express views like this when representing the US military. Is he allowed to say things like this whilst dressed in uniform and represnting the military?
