Sounds wild, but Biden was Vice-President when the White House handed out white lab coats in the Rose Garden to make it look like there were a crowd of doctors there.
It is possible that his aides asked the troops to remove their offensive US flags and their anti-equity rank insignia that unfairly rewards troops by merit instead of by the intersectionality of their status as oppressed people. And of course nametags are unfair because they violate the rights of poor black people who don’t have ID and who therefore are not allowed to become soldiers.
No, I’m not being sarcastic. This may be true in part or in whole. That’s how bad things are in our post-coup clownworld nation.
Fakeness is the standard operating procedure for American government
Yes, Biden spoke to real troops. Far-right Republicans are destroying democracy.
(Future Washington ComPost headline)
Even DOD civilians are required to remove name tags when taking pictures that may get out to the public,
When 0 care was rolled out at a 0 presser I think some here said the doctors were just some actors in lab coats.
1) Where did this occur, relative to the proximity of military bases?
2) Is it possible these were brits?
You need to focus on what is really important.
The picture showed the proper ratio of blacks, latinos, LBQTXYZs and child molesters—so it is good to go!
The light on Joe is slightly brighter than the people behind him. The resolution of his image and podium are different as well. It could be a function the the focal length of the lens used, but it is suspicious. The lack of name tags and black/green American flag patches is suspicious as well.
They would not be wearing name “tags”. Those are for class A uniforms. These are BDU’s and the name would be printed in black ink on the left chest. You could never see it in this picture.
Masks! Masks! Everywhere on every soliers’s face.
They were what? 30 feet away from Biden. Is he still afraid?
Maybe he should have used a Pope Moble, you know, that truck with an enclosed glass dome to protect the Pope during his public visits.
**Was their attendance mandatory? “Clap for Biden, OR ELSE..”
I don’t buy this theory, but I WAS wondering why we still have troops stationed in England in the first place.
If he spoke to an audience, he did.
Did he tell them they were a “dull crowd?”
There is a phase-in period but I would expect to see a mixture since both types are authorized. In particular, the newest airmen and officers have been issued the new utilites at basic.
In the picture I studied there are two green bag flight suits and 15 people in civilian clothes. All of the rest of the uniforms are of the same design.
BTW the rank is on a chest tab on that uniform not the sleeve. I did see some nametags and rank tabs in the front rows.
Biden’s Shadow Army
He said that he believes because of enhanced security, items like name, rank flag, unit, are not on the uniforms for events occurring off base. It appears that this event was off base judging from the large number of civilians.
Hmmm...
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I’d point out that this picture was taken in a DE basement during a lid...
Rank isn’t on the sleeves. It’s on the chest.
