from the honolulu star advertiser - unfortunately its behind a paywall and I cannot link the article to FB either:
"The Hawaii Army National Guard has instructed Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to take down or amend certain campaign material from her VoteTulsi Facebook page because it violates military ethics rules."
when she is not dodging debates or public appearances she likes to wrap herself in the US flag and her uniform every chance she gets as a campaign strategy.
fortunately this woman is running in a democratic PRIMARY and is fair game to criticize in favor of a superior democrat. she has a great truly progressive opponent who is actually good for hawaii, Sherry Alu Campagna:

Campaign material must include a prominent and clearly displayed disclaimer that the ad or image is not a military endorsement. Candidates are also forbidden from using images of themselves in uniform as the primary graphic in campaign material.
Gabbards campaign, as of Monday afternoon, appeared to have already removed a video of Gabbard in uniform on the VoteTulsi Facebook page that the National Guard had flagged. Her campaign also added a disclaimer to the websites banner image a photograph of Gabbard in uniform in a veterans cemetery that notes the image does not imply an endorsement by the military. However, the disclaimer is visible only if one clicks on the photograph.
