I'm sure that's against regulations and there will be discipline and some refresher training forthcoming!

They should just cut out the middle man and fly the Russian flag.

But seriously, that's a disturbing breach of discipline. Soldiers are supposed to be loyal to the American flag and the Constitution, not to any particular leader. That's the difference between us and third world nations. At least it used to be the difference. There seem to be fewer and fewer things that distinguish us from the banana republics of the world.

It's actually not. You really aren't supposed to alter the American flag.

But it is still less unsettling than a military convoy displaying the emblem of a political campaign which is very, very wrong for obvious reasons.

This should have been considered before millions of third world ears were invited in to vote democrat.

Perhaps it was the SEALs' answer to Sarah Silverman.

Let's just put it this way, the Obama flag would be frowned upon.

Flying Trump flag is a military violation

The photograph in question came to the attention of the Navy on Saturday, according to Lt. Jacqui Maxwell, a spokeswoman for Naval Special Warfare Group 2 based in Virginia Beach, Va. The Humvee in question was part of a convoy from that unit.

Maxwell said the Navy launched an investigation once it learned about the existence of the photograph – officially a “command inquiry” in military terms.

Flying the Trump flag violated two rules.

First, Maxwell said, Department of Defense and Navy regulations proscribe which flags and pennants may be displayed – and the way they may be displayed.

“The flag shown in the video was unauthorized and not approved,” Maxwell said.

Say, for instance, the unit wanted to express its support for one of the teams in the Super Bowl and flew that squad’s flag. That would be a no-no.

Second, Maxwell cited the Hatch Act, which prohibits employees in the executive branch of government from engaging in political activities.

On that point, Maxwell read directly from the defense department regulations: “Per longstanding DOD policy, active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities, and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DOD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign or cause.”

Maxwell said there is no specific timeline for the investigation. Once it is completed, the unit’s commander will determine what discipline – if any – to mete out.

Ironic that Trump supporters have done more in a year and a half to turn us into a third world hellhole than immigrants from the third world have done in all of American history. That's probably because the hardcore Trumpers, with their personality cult hero-worship and their authoritarian tendencies, have a fundamentally third world mindset. By contrast, most third world immigrants who come here actually want to live in America. They love traditional American values and are trying to escape all the paleo-tribalist crap from their homeland that the Trumpers want to bring here.

Military convoys are not a place for free speech. In advanced democracies, military forces do not take sides in elections.

Whether this country still qualifies as an advanced democracy, I'll leave open to the floor for debate.
