Actually there is precedent for this. Bill Clinton was so incredibly unpopular in the military that he was advised of many military bases and ships where he could not go, “as his security could not be guaranteed.”
Unlike Jimmy Carter, who frightened sailors who believed him to be a “Jonah”, extremely bad luck, when Clinton visited the Enterprise, sailors were first assembled, then asked to put up their hands if they had “any problem with Clinton or his policies.”
Those who put their hands up were ordered below decks to a secure area where they were placed under watch by armed warrant officers until Clinton had left.
For some reason, Republican presidents don’t seem to have these problems. If anything, their minders have to remind them that they have a schedule, so can’t hang out with the soldiers and sailors as long as they like.
Wonder how many of the detained career’s suffered?
I am glad in many respects I did 4 plus some NG/NR time and gave it up for health and a few other reasons.
The asinine rules and PC atmosphere is hard enough to grasp reading about it but living/working in it as the typical armed forces type is almost unimagineable.
