>A Trump flag was spotted on a military convoy driving outside Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday. The US Navy confirmed to CNN that the Humvees were being driven by an East Coast Naval Special Warfare unit -- also known as a Navy SEALs unit.
>The Facebook video showing the convoy had been viewed almost 80,000 times before it was removed Thursday afternoon.
>The responses to the video were harsh, with some people blasting the person who filmed it while driving, to others who told the world to get used to President Trump being the commander in chief.
>Trump becomes president >military truck has trump flag >cant do that >people are literally angered by that >angry comments on video >video of it is taken down
Was really shocked to see how many pozzed people there are in my branch :/
Well, maybe not too surprised. You run into a lot of lib pussies in the Navy.

While the vast majority of everybody in the military supports Trump (varying between the branches from ~60-70%, the low end being the Navy), the fact of the matter remains that this very much so against military rules and regulations.
It's not as bad as it would be in the lead up to an election, but it's still a massive no-no, and something that people in the military are explicitly taught that they're not allowed to do. Regardless of my feelings on the matter, rules are rules, and whoever did it should have known better, and likely did. He deserves to be reprimanded.

When you join the military you become property of the US Government; the military is not supposed to participate in politics--especially when in uniform.

dude if there was any doubt, selecting mad dog meant the army is about ready to support trump as a goddamn benevolent dictator

I'm in the Air Force and this is correct. In fact, we have to be careful even when we express opinions NOT in uniform. Public speaking at a rally for a candidate or party is forbidden, even if you make no mention of the fact that you are active duty.
It's a clear conflict of interest..

I don't hear people attacking the Park Service for their anti government twitter.
Supporting the President and CIC while being in the military is the least political statement you could make. But lefttards hate Trump so they will cry, riot and loot if people hold opinions counter to their own.

Good thing I have the full webm. The driver that filmed it was massively triggered and he sped up to the lead vehicle and cut the convoy off the ramp.
Zachary Sanders
It all depends on what you are trying to do, there's a lot of grey there so be careful. If you really want to get serious about your demonstrations in some organization, talk to your base legal office.

If they believe the order they receive is in violation of the constitution it is their duty to refuse that order. Will they be sent to the brig and face a trial, yes, but if it was an unconstitutional order they will be cleared.
Chase Garcia
LMAO, Aussie telling me what Marines can do. They fuck goats after the Hajis and other mudslimes do. Marines prefer sloppy seconds.

Trump just got one SEAL killed and four injured in a botched mission. SEALs won't be flying Trump flags anymore after this.

Yeah. It's called the American flag you upsidedown kangaroo fucking abo.

They can vote. They just aren't supposed to be partisan while in uniform or on duty

At first the military denied it was them and said "it was surplus" now they confirm it was serving personnel.
Dylan Sanders
It's ridiculous, but that is WAY out of regulations. Also this No one cares if you go to buddy's house and have some drinks and talk politics, but while in uniform and at work, don't do it.
Jaxon Butler
ITT manbabies who don't understand the significance of flags or the politicisation of the military. Seriously, this happens in 3rd world shitholes and you laugh and shrug, shitskins gonna shit, right?
Zachary Flores
The fact that it was Navy Seals driving that truck and not some POG reservists just makes it all that much sweeter.
God bless those men.
Blake Smith

The AQ terrorists knew they were coming.
Trump implied the troopers were betrayed and he will seek out and punish the betrayer.
PLOT TWIST: The Seal was a member of Seal Team 6 the team that "killed" Bin Laden. He was one of the last few surviving members of that mission after the bulk of the team were killed days after the raid in a "helicopter accident".
Seems (((they))) are cleaning up Obama's loose ends.

This is what I'm worried about.
You already have Obama and celebs telling the military to over throw Trump.
Whats to stop the libtards in the military form doing this? I know they exist because Obama did meet with the military on numerous occasions and always the young people flocked to him.

The military by doctrine is supposed to be non-partisan and to outlast political agendas. They are servants of the people.
You're not an individual when in uniform, I know it's hard for millennials on this board to understand. What you support as an individual should not represent the organization as a whole. It's like working for a company and saying "Yes, my views represent the company as a whole". Then you get fired.
