probably the best short talk on depression i’ve ever seen:

You must be another lefty kid sneaking on his foster parent’s computer. Going through life with one hissy fit after another will give you a stroke.

Too bad the convoy did not have a Whambulance.

I never said anything about legality, and I am sure the perpetrators of this prank wont be laughing after disciplinary actions are brought down on them. I agree that they should be punished for making a mockery of themselves and by extension the military as a whole, but the cries of “Look! Trump loyalist rogue…

They are all grade A jimmy rustlers

I would put money on their thought process being no deeper than “hey guys, we have a boring transit between training bases, how funny would it be to fly a trump flag and watch people lose their shit?!”

Exactly. Comparing someone to Hitler might mean a damn if a certain political alignment didn’t label every. single. detractor. as one.

Troops supporting the commander and chief, my word! I don’t even know how we became so backwards and self loathing. Democrats have Obama hats, Obama shirts, heck most still have Obama ‘08 bumper stickers. However god forbid, ONE Trump flag, its the Nazis!!!! This incredibly immature behavior just keeps digging a…

And, despite all of the hagiography, your average Special Warfare guy isn’t exactly Montesquieu.

There it is. Took longer than I expected to find the racism accusation in the comments.

You’re not wrong... Gawker’s connecting Trump to an editor’s USB cable breaking or Hitler/Nazis to almost anything happening in America right now must be in the company’s style guidelines.

“Flying the Trump campaign flag is extremely disturbing”

Grow a fucking pair

You clearly don’t understand how shit works in SOF units. I’d be rather surprised if they get anything other than a stern talking to. MAYBE a Captain’s Mast with suspended busts, but I doubt that.

somehow I think if a navy SEAL unit planned to become trump loyalists and upend the constitution, they wouldn’t be flying a campaign flag, since that’s a dead giveaway and all. This is most definitely a bunch of dudes who did this knowing this act would freak out a bunch of people.

I have many friends and family in the military. They are all grade A jimmy rustlers and do it just for sport. Move along, folks.

What the fuck? Are you all Red Dawn up in this piece?

Putin’s not above an ‘oopsy.’ If they do this, I guarantee every country with a nuclear defense shield is going to be sitting with their finger on the button at the first sign of any deviation from course...
