“Investigate those investigating.”
Exactly, because anyone that would investigate something like this is nothing more than an EEO/diversity/quota doing the bidding of the softest parts of the military. These are the worst of the worst of the military and do not give a $hit whether or not the military is the most fierce and feared fighting force.
These are the people that are only concerned with perceptions and feelings, the kind of thinking that gets people killed with the fhit hits the san.
In the first video in post #16, At the very end of the video, enlarge the screen and pause it. The flag clearly says "TRUMP" Make America Great......
Why was Steve the goat farmer going to get feed in a Honda Accord? Also, why was Steve filming with his phone instead of driving with both hands? And, if it was an actual military convoy, why did Steve speed up after it passed him and position himself within the convoy behind the Trump flagship?
Trump has to fire those officers who rose to high command via Obama!
Oops, same one as what I had in my first post
Anyone who has ever visited a VA clinic or office will see prominently displayed, a photograph of the Commander In Chief, in this case Trump. I see nothing wrong with flying a Trump flag on any military vehicle, PROVIDING it was not interfering with the vehicle or other traffic and after Trump was sworn in as the new CIC. Fire away non-believers.
That makes sense to me. I don't think legitimate military vehicles should be displaying any flag other than the American flag, otherwise you are setting a precedent that could lead to all kinds of problems. For example, would you want to see a military vehicle displaying a rainbow flag?
Code of conduct? LOL! Is that the same UCMJ that demands I accept men dressed like women, that I accept two men kissing or worse in the shower next to me, that I not accept a Chaplain uttering Jesus outside his chapel, that I accept women being given a Ranger tab to satisfy the homosexual Secretary of the Army? To hell with the code of “conduct.” President Trump needs to send out a tweet today, Thank you to the Navy for flying my flag. That would be the end of the conversation.
With all the trash talk about a coup from the crazy left, maybe some of the men wanted to send a message.
In the article first thing brought up OF COURSE was reminding the reporter of NAZI GERMANY!!! I WILL BET the reporter was NOT alive during the time of NAZI Germany they throw this term around just like the term racism of which they KNOW NOTHING about!!!
This utube vid shows the videoer catching a glimpse and then driving so as to catch up to the truck and get a better look.

After all, you need to make sure your guys are being fiscally responsible.
I tweeted Kelly Anne Conway asking her to ask the President just to tweet out this message: “Thanks to the Navy Special Ops for flying my flag on their convoy.” That one line will end any “investigation” and let them move on to important issues. We military love the Pres and now need him to cover our backs on this. And I am Army, not involved in this convoy at all.
After 8 years of having to eat political sh_t sandwiches about the prior POTUS I can understand our opponent’s angst over this.
That understanding is enhanced with a great sense of satisfaction and pride with a hint of gloating.
Difference. Rainbow flag is NOT of Commander in Chief.
Had not seen that version - but you seem to be correct - however the DOD commnet stands: not active US mil unit nor vehicles.
It’s been a long time since I had anything to do with the UCMJ. I know there is a connection to political campaigning, but if (as I posited) this was after the election then it really wasn’t campaigning.
As for being in appropriate, I don’t think so. Indeed, what if ever, happened to those GIs in the Mideast with the “Halp Us Jon Kerrey” signs?
IMO, a judge advocate would have to be nuts to prosecute anything about this under UCMJ.
From the posted article:
Reached by email, Lt. Jacqui Maxwell, a spokeswoman for Naval Special Warfare Group Two, released a statement confirming that the vehicles captured on video and cameras were based in Fort Knox, Ky., and were driven by members of an East Coast Naval Special Warfare unit. At the time, she noted, the convoy was traveling between two military training areas.
Lead vehicle of a convoy should be marked with a blue flag - good thing he had this one available...
