Horsefly Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 What do folks think of this video? I'm all for a person exercising their rights, but the military relies too much on teamwork, this is not authorized and for reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I AM IRONMAN Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It is simple...Obama depleted the U.S. military, and really couldn't care less. Trump loves and respects our military....why are you surprised? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 We are in real trouble as a country. What type of action can the military take on those soldiers for flying that flag on their vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Letter of Reprimand (official paperwork in their personnel file of the incident) They will have to investigate to see if any serious misconduct occurred, such as were they trying to intimidate folks on the road, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsefly Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I sometimes like to read comments on different sites to get a pulse of what the public is thinking and I found it disapppinting many feel these sailors are justified in flying the flag. Some support from active duty and military retirees. Interesting times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting times... what are you disappointed in Horsefly; that America wasn't proud and flying an obama flag??? what you see here is pride, nothing more. these guys finally have a leader they can count on and be proud of and why not, most those guys probably were in for the last eight years so they dealt with that bullshit for so long of course they are happy and proud. Sorry you are not proud now and probably never were of this country but you personally are not a reason to drop that flag!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Scratch Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Can someone please prove those were officially military trucks. Seen a lot of exercises that were none military in my life. Just a bunch of ex GI's taking their military vehicles out for a joy ride. Be sure you know the fire you start is containable before tossing a match onto the dump.

GloryDays Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Amazing that after completely dodging Vietnam, and his countless (verbal, Twitter) attacks on actual US military personnel there are still goobers out there (at least two ITT) that think he's some saving grace to the Armed Forces.

DevilDog Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Those were not Soldiers it was Navy Seals. The same guys he sent into a bad mission over the weekend, where the enemy knew they were coming, killing one and injuring many others. No Active Military personnel should engage in this as it is contrary to good order and discipline. Of course they would have no problem with any CINC sending them anywhere for any mission. LOUISVILLE — It's official: The military convoy seen flying a Trump flag in Louisville on Sunday belonged to a Navy Special Warfare unit, and the flag was "unauthorized," a Navy spokeswoman said. Lt. Jacqui Maxwell of the Naval Special Warfare Group 2 in Virginia Beach, Va., said a command inquiry is underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 12 hours ago, Horsefly said: nm The U.S. military is intended to be a nonpartisan organization within the government, swearing to serve the Constitution and the people, and not an armed force executing the political agenda of whoever is president at the time. This is why many found this video of the convoy flying the Trump campaign flag is extremely disturbing The spokesperson said that a command inquiry has been initiated to determine what flag was being flown by the vehicle in the convoy. “Defense Department and Navy regulations prescribe flags and pennants that may be displayed as well as the manner of display,” said Maxwell. “The flag shown in the video was unauthorized.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you are not proud now and probably never were of this country but you personally are not a reason to drop that flag!!! We take pride in country and what the country represents, that's who we took an oath for, the constitution of the US. Making an allegiance to an individual is dangerous bc individual ideals can change and fluctuate. As an example, let's say a president and their cabinet go rogue and do things counter to our constitution, the country and our service needs to know individuals would do what's necessary to protect us under the constitution, that confidence and reassurance becomes blurred when we hold outwardly visible allegiances to individuals (against military regulations) just as it would rightfully be if I were in uniform and running around with an Obama flag. to me it's quite simple, all men and women, under different creeds, religions and cultures join the service to support and defend ONE nation, ONE constitution. Everything uniform and no blurred obligations. It's unwavering and distinguishable. It's what makes us AMERICAN fighting men and women...so at least I thought. So much for idealism. what was more disappointing is they were proud to fly the trump flag, but the American flag was no where to be seen.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
