The Pentagon last week urged all U.S. military personnel and Department of Defense employees to avoid any actions that could be perceived as an endorsement of a political candidate or group.

In a memo to personnel and employees, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said that each person “must be unwavering in our personal commitment to exemplary ethics and living by core values grounded in duty and honor.”
