I’ll call BS unless there’s a photo somewhere. The casket at a military funeral must be draped with an American flag until “Taps” is played.

No seal would desecrate the flag by sticking his trident in it.

I call BS, too. Mike Mansoor was a SEAL. He was awarded the MOH for his actions.

I’ve seen the pictures - it’s real. The Tridents went on the coffin, and the Flag followed ...

I was regular army, and never had to attend a funeral for a fallen comrade, so you may be right.

There must be some vets who could verify the possibility of this happening.

I don’t know how to post pictures (or anything else for that matter.) Go to this site to see his casket.

The article calls him an EOD, but he was a SEAL.
