This also appears to be a continuation of Rep Jones' disagreement with the house on how to honour the dead solders.

While this specific poster may not be objectionable it appears from other stories that Rep Jones has had other posters outside his office that did break the house rule.

The new policy went into effect April 17 after approval from Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. They sit on the commission that oversees much of the Capitol complex.

The new clean-up rule was designed to make it easier for staffers and tourists to flee the building in case of an evacuation and make it easier for people using wheelchairs to navigate congressional corridors."

And this isn't the first time that Jones has been told to remove his posters.

"While the GOP held the House majority in September 2004, Reps. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) and Walter Jones (R-N.C.) were asked to remove hallway military memorials. Both Emanuel and Jones refused to take them down."
