General Douglass crossed the line

-

John Douglass in his commentary (“Preserving the sacred duty of the military,” Saturday) refers to a non-political military which is proper. However, he finishes with a political statement regarding the election. That is his right but he crosses the line with a picture of him in uniform and using his military rank. The military’s duty to protect the U.S. Constituti­on is in only following lawful orders, not in advocating candidates. He perpetrate­d what he criticized.
