When Nixon was having problems we were never told we could not make fun of him.
This held true for Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 1.

When Clinton was making a fool of himself the various commanders at Eglin AFB
and Hurlburt Fld. made it perfectly clear anything anti Clinton was
prohibited.
This actually makes sense from the point of view of loyalty, but being ordered
not to tell Clinton jokes was a bit much. Fortunately I had retired by then.

Dan,

How true. During my military career it was pointed out -- curiously during the
Clinton years -- that it was a UCMJ violation to make disparaging remarks about
the President. We may have held poor opinions of him but we still followed the
orders publicly.
