EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Before engaging in political discussions in the workplace, proceed with caution. Though not prohibited, political discussions in the workplace can be disruptive, discourteous, and/or detract from mission accomplishment.
Federal installations and workplaces are not traditional public forums for free speech and political discussions are generally not appropriate. Under our democratic system, the military, as a group, must remain politically neutral and divorced from partisan politics.
Airmen, as individuals, enjoy the same rights and have the same responsibilities as other citizens however, the way they exercise their rights is limited in some cases.
