I think the only correct answer will be “No sir, I did not display the Trump flag, and I certainly will not do it again”.

I hope if they ever find out who did it they just get a verbal “naughty naughty “

These men have a real leader for the first time in years

“The Kentucky-based anti-Trump organization, Indivisible Kentucky, was one of the first to post video of the incident on its website, calling it a fascist tactic”

Until proven otherwise, anything from the Compost should be considered as fake news.

It was a SEAL Team 6 convoy.

SEAL Team 6 is Delta Force, operates at the direct discretion of the POTUS.

There are a few (very select few) military SEALS/Rangers/Green Berets that operate above Delta, I do not feel that these folks will receive more than a ‘public youshouldnthave’ and a private scotch and a cigar.

Thank you Lord that the heinous ‘O’ has left the building.

If the Navy does not approve of campaign flags then perhaps the POTUS should award CINC colors to every unit that wishes to display them

What they know about military etiquette would fit in a thimble with room left for an elephant.

What’s to investigate? Was harm done? Was national security compromised? So a rule was broken or a procedure was violated. Write a reprimand to the unit in question, distribute it and circular file the original.

Much ado about very little.

Nope, not true, two separate entities.

He's not a candidate; he's the Commander in Chief.
