How is that a valid retort? Your central argument here is that the guy you like is worse or as bad. It’s as if you believe one cannot criticize the current POTUS unless some other guy was perfect in every way. That makes sense...

I’m assuming, based on the fact that you think that picture is funny, that you are an old. Based on that assumption, I will ask - what generation do you think invented the fucking participation trophies and handed them out so they could show everyone how fucking great their kids were? The kids didn’t ask for this…

This shit is gonna get real folks. A lot in the military think Trump is great. And Trump thinks he’s fucking great, and that he only lost the popular vote because of rampant fraud. WHEN he loses in four years, do you think he’s gonna take it graciously and step down? Of course not. He’s gonna claim fraud, and that…

Those have been hollow words compared to his despicable insults towards John McCain, a war hero who he disparaged and never apologized to. Not to mention the Gold Star family of Captain Khan. My friends in the military are no fans of his for those very reasons.

What happens when the president they like looses the next election, and someone they don’t like comes in? Who’s orders they follow? Why is it so hard for people to understand it is bad for military to be loyal to a single person or a political party.

That’s the problem. Most of the people who “like” Trump are a tad fucked up in the head already...

Yeah, but as someone who spent time in the military I will tell you that most of the guys are quite childish in their world view. They are basically the type unfit for modern society and more on par with chimps. They view the world as being about one thing and one thing only, power. They have an Alpha Male view that…

Anyone who has served knows this is against the rules.

Fascist sympathizers love a fascist leader.

Indeed. And the cherry on top of the sundae would be Breitbart’s “scoop:” “OBAMA SECRETLY ORDERS SEAL TEAM TO FLY OBAMA FLAG TO BOOST SAGGING POLL NUMBERS.” And Fox News would “legitimize” the headline by stating “according to our sources...”

What does any of that matter? If they aren’t allowed to do it, they aren’t allowed to do it. Conversation ends there. It doesn’t matter who visited who, who died, who supports what party. With the utter lack of accountability in the executive branch, and the recent reports of war crimes and insubordination in the…

Yes, it would have been news.

Yep. If this was a SEAL team flying an Obama flag there would already be a GOP committee holding hearings in D.C. about it.

I wrote plenty of article 15s that were not suspended. Generally, my theory was that if you’re going to do something wrong in public, it needs to be handled in public.
My E7 that punched another E7 in the BN TOC got as much as I could throw at him (admittedly, not much, a week’s pay), and it was read in a morning…

Reaction to Leftie protests/flags, etc: “Traitors!” “America Haters!”

The story here is that a member of the US Military was promoting a personal/political opinion while in uniform. Doesn’t matter if it was a Bernie, Hillary, Confederate, or a LGBT flag. Who the hell cares what it is, it doesn’t belong on a Military vehicle.

Of course but that’s not the point. The greater point is that this potential operation was in the works for months. The obama administration chose not to move forward with it due to the risk-reward analysis.

Speaking as a former sailor, SEALs are the elite of the elite. They are held to higher standards than others due to the trust that the Navy has placed in them through the selection process and the months and years of training invested in them. This action is boot camp level stuff, not the actions of an elite highly…

This veteran agrees.

As a retired sailor, and on behalf of others...I apologize. It’s actually pretty damn embarrassing when idiots do stuff like this.
