If, IF, they really are Marines, they are in violation of the UCMJ.
OK, there perry mason, quote us the relevant article and specification.
hell, I will even give you the shot at it.
Article 88 and Article 94 are your only possible goes. Your only shot is a commissioned officer under 88 and there has to be a partaking in violence under 94.
And under UCMJ you must prove every clause of the article to find guilt.
And there is more to those articles than I have said here.
DODI 1344.01 DODI 1344.10 UCMJ Article 92
Paragraph 3.1.3 states that absent approval by a competent authority, members of the Armed Services (including retired members and members of Reserve components) are prohibited from wearing the uniform when "participating in activities such as unofficial public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration, which may imply Service sanction of the cause for which the demonstration or activity is conducted."
Paragraph 3.1.2 includes an additional "catch-all" provision that prohibits the wearing of the uniform "[d]uring or in connection with furthering political activities, private employment or commercial interests, when an inference of official sponsorship for the activity or interest may be drawn."
DODD 1344.10. First, at paragraph 4.1.5, the directive warns against engaging in any activity that may be viewed as directly or indirectly associating the DOD or the military departments with a partisan political activity, even those activities not expressly prohibited by the directive. {In other words, if it is a close call, avoid the uniform.} Second, the directive is now punitive, stating plainly that it is a lawful general regulation and that violations of paragraphs 4.1 through 4.5 are punishable under Article 92, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, "Failure to Obey Order or Regulation."
