Risky business: The military wants its trademarked symbols off this anti-Obama group's logo. Screenshot: soforamerica.org/When you set up a Swift Boat-style front group to accuse President Obama of stealing credit for the military's valor, maybe it's not the best idea to steal the military's official logos in the process. "Special Operations for America," a new super-PAC* endorsing Mitt Romney for president and ridiculing Obama over the Osama bin Laden raid, appears to have done precisely that. By using part or all of the insignia of the Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army, and the US Special Operations Command on its website, Facebook, and Twitter pages, the super-PAC has run afoul of military regulations, according to representatives of the US Marine Corps and Air Force who spoke to Mother Jones.According to the Department of Defense, each service branch's symbols are trademarked, and their commercial and political use is tracked closely by military officials to prevent any appearance of the military's endorsing a partisan or for-profit cause. The officials said they will be contacting the group and asking them to stop using the insignia or face potential legal action.
everyday something comes out and violates if nothing else our sensibilities. the more exorbitant, the bigger the lie. we need to pay attention to their ads and note who sponsor's them, even though we may never know the rich that are buying this election we will know those connected with the candidate and remember their dishonesty.
