The code says:
“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
But, what is contemptuous words exactly?
Anything disparaging, especially any type of public utterence.
Interestingly, if you look at the article, all of the 'contemptuous words' come from retired personnel, and not subject to court-martial. None of the active members of the military said anything contemptuous.
