But, if you join the military, you agree and understand that a standard uniform is part of the deal. Joining the military is a choice and not mandatory.
Not going to argue the benefit of wearing a mask but technically what violation of law would one be violating if outside on a public street, within 6 feet of others and not wearing a mask? To be in violation of a law there must be a law.
Not sure why everyone insist on me wearing more then a Speedo when out & about!
Karens to the left of me, Karens to the right.............

I figure we all could use a good laugh in these times we live in!Dammit Baboon, I could have went the rest of my life not having read that! Jeesh!
does the government have the authority / power to compel you to wear any type or individual piece of clothing?
Sec. 418.012. EXECUTIVE ORDERS. Under this chapter, the governor may issue executive orders, proclamations, and regulations and amend or rescind them. Executive orders, proclamations, and regulations have the force and effect of law.
That clarifies it. Thanks.Yes. Why does the governor have that power? Because you gave it to him, in 1975.
gdr_11 has it right above where he said, "The local and state governments have been allowed by voters to reach the point where they think that they are accountable to no one." (empahsis mine)
Axe55 said, "Exactly. There has to be a law in place, before a law can be violated."
And there is. Because of what Texas voters allowed (through their elected representatives) in 1975.
In 1975, Texas passed the Texas Disaster Act, which replaced the Texas Civil Protection Act of 1951. Probably seemed like a decent idea at the time, but to get to the point, may I present to you
Boom. Since 1975, Any executive order by the Governor, once a declaration of disaster has been made, is immediately law. So yes, Abbott could say you need to smack yourself in the face with a whipped cream pie, and it would be law, as long as this covid disaster declaration endures. That's power, folks.
Gotta be careful who ya vote for -- elections have consequences. Kinda late to start whining about it now; we've had 35 years to get rid of it and haven't lifted a finger.
1975 was 45 years ago. Tempus Fugit...
