The Pentagon this week told all military personnel and Department of Defense employees to avoid any actions that could be perceived as an endorsement of a political candidate or group.
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said in a memo to personnel and employees that each person “must be unwavering in our personal commitment to exemplary ethics and living by core values grounded in duty and honor.â€
Workers can vote and undertake other political actions but should stay apolitical while on the job, Esper said in the memo, which was dated Feb. 5 and released on Feb. 7.
