An unspecified number of Navy Special Warfare forces have been punished for flying a Trump flag on a military convoy seen traveling through Louisville last month, igniting fears of an authoritarian state among some motorists.

An inquiry by the unit’s commander found that the service members “violated the spirit and intent of applicable DoD regulations concerning the flying of flags and the apparent endorsement of political activities,” according to a statement issued Tuesday by Lt. Jacqui Maxwell of the Naval Special Warfare Group 2 in Virginia Beach, Va.

She said “administrative corrective measures” were taken with each individual based on their respective responsibility.” She declined to elaborate on the punishments or how many were punished

But flying a Rainbow Flag OVER the stars and stripes is okay, right? I’ve heard some enlisted say they were ordered not to ‘make trouble’ when others did this.
Of course, this was during the Obola regime.

I say our Special Ops heroes need some support from The Deplorables in this matter! Anyone know what we can do in support of these Special Ops patriots?

It is inappropriate to do such a thing under official capacity nd public appearance.

However, pooh on the snowflakes who cower thinking it is “authoritarian threat”. It was not an official doctrine, it was a choice by some men.

“Lt. Jacqui Maxwell” ?

Jacqui sounds like one of those inventive home-nade names.

Appropriate administrative measures:

Commander
So I understand you are the mastermind of the Trump flag flying. Is that true, Captain?

Captain
Yes sir.

Commander
Stand in the corner. Face the wall. Count to five.

Captain
One, two, three, four, five!

Commander
Turn around. Don’t bother me with another stunt like that. Our time is too valuable.

Dismissed.

Captain
Yes Sir!

While this particular thing isn't a big deal, more PR BS than anything else really, I'm beginning wonder when someone within the military is going to get pissed off and pissed on one too many times and start their own little Phoenix Program in the US to clean out the shadow government running the well funded democrat fascist machine.

This is obvious as the nose on your face that this commander is an obuma booster and traitor.

Arrest this POS and charge him with sedition.

Wake up, people. We are at war. Let’s start acting like it.

commanding officer - I have been instructed to give you all administrate justice because of the panic caused by your display of respect to the commander and chief. I want each of you to think seriously about the repercussions of flying a flag honoring President Trump. I now want each of you to take the hand of the soldier to the right of you and slap that hand on the wrist. ok there you are all punished. now get back to work making America great. can the soldier that did not get to slap a wrist come over here and slap mine seeing how I was the one who instructed you to fly the flag.
