Mass outrage on the left ensued after photos emerged of United States sailors aboard the USS Wasp wearing Make Aircrew Great Again patches with President Trumps likeness on them.
The images were first reported by White House reporters traveling with the president on his trip to Japan, where he stopped at a U.S. military base in Yokosuka:
After the photos surfaced online, leftist commentators and pundits began calling for the airmen to be punished, claiming they had violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for engaging in political activity while in uniform.

Good, they hate the military anyway so you may as well give them a reason.

“Hope and Change” patches would have been A-OK.
Encouraged even.

Political activity while in uniform? Do they know who the Commander in Chief is?
To: detective
I defer to my colleagues who study civilian/military relations, but I find this worrisome - the military must be loyal to civilian control and the Constitution, not part of a presidential personality cult, said one little lefty peckerneck professor.
Doesn't this treetard know that the President personifies civilian control of the military? Is the truth that far over his pointed head?

Hes the president. It is not a political campaign.
The left does not have to like the patch. Theyre allowed to complain, by the first amendment- protected by the Make Aircrew Gdeat Again patch-wearing troops
While it is against UCMJ law to criticize the CIC, I dont think its illegal to promote him

Political? Not like stacking clapping seals around Obama whenever he costed the troops.

Makes you want to repeal the 22nd amendment, doesn’t it?
