if they had flown an 0bama flag, no investigation would have been conducted, and a warm and fuzzy story of how much they loved 0bama would be the result.

Sure - a top of Mad Dog's "To Do" list......

Mad Dog Memo To Self:

  1. Find out why only one vehicle in convoy was showing the C in C flag.

  2. Make sure all units are equipped with sufficient C in C flags in the future

But there was no problem when the Obama flag flew at a military base in Afghanistan!

No, it does not say “TRUMP.” Even if it did, so what. The president’s picture is on every chain of command board in the military. Once he is elected, it would not seem to be a Hatch Act violation to display his picture or flag or other tasteful articles honoring him.

Q: Does a pic of the POTUS hang in any offices in the DOD, on the walls in bases anywhere? If so, how the heck is flying a flag with the POTUS’s name any different from hanging his mug on the wall?

That flag doesn't say *Trump*, does it? WTF?

The video clearly shows that it does say TRUMP. Check it out.

I saw the video yesterday. It really does say “TRUMP” but is flapping so violently in the breeze that it’s tough to get a clear pic of it.

No doubt the Navy SEALS were honoring a COMMANDER IN CHIEF who honored a fallen Navy SEAL.
