Georgia's Republican Rep. Doug Collins served in the House for seven years and has raised his political profile as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee.<br />However, Business Insider reports his reelection campaign is under fire for showing numerous ads featuring Collins wearing his US Air Force uniform.<br />Collins serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves. He previously deployed to Iraq as a chaplain.<br />Several of Collins' images appeared to violate the Defense Department's regulations intended to protect the military's apolitical status.<br />Ads must indicate their retired or reserve status and include a disclaimer stating that the Defense Department does not necessarily endorse them.<br />Attorney Michael Weinstein is the founder of the non-profit group Military Religious Freedom Foundation. He described the ads as a 'shameful' violation.<br />He's like the sole star of these ads. That's not biographical. That's political. He's using it for a partisan, political agenda. It's pathetic. It's putrescent. Michael Weinstein, Attorney Founder, Military Religious Freedom Foundation
