Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:
"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving:
Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.
