I know that there are rules that you can't be in uniform when doing political events but I'm guessing that he wants to keep the peace in his unit where you're discouraged from talking politics (well, that's how it was back in the day, it seems R's in the military these days have no trouble spouting off their opinions).

I don't think it would have been against the rules if he were out of uniform, but I imagine he wanted to stay out just in case.
