Steve Thompson was on his way to pick up some feed for his goat farm Sunday morning when he noticed an impressive-looking military convoy and started filming. When he neared the lead vehicle in the convoy, the 32-year-old Shepherdsville, Ky., man noticed something else: A large blue and white Trump campaign flag.
"I just thought it was just a bunch of military vehicles," Thompson, who was driving near Louisville at the time, told the Lexington Herald Leader . "I was surprised because I figured you wouldn't be able to fly anything on a Humvee other than an American flag."
The Navy has since confirmed that the convoy was from a Virginia Beach-based special warfare unit.
Thompson's video is one of two that have been circulating on social media this week, drawing both praise and outrage, and prompting the Navy to open an investigation into the flag-flying display. One of the Facebook videos showing the convoy was viewed close to 80,000 times before it was taken down Thursday afternoon - but not before unleashing a flood of comments.

Now we have “flags” supporting our president instead of “#%&$”.
I am deeply offended............................... Of course, after all he’s the new Hitler, his flag would offend many. There must have been a massive pile up on the opposite side of the road, where the snowflakes had to stop to vomit. If it was a Hillary flag the conservatives would just shrug their shoulders, and think, idiots.
Which totally contradicts yesterday’s statement ...
thanks.....
Did they have Inspector Clouseau leading the investigation? That flag very clearly is a TRUMP flag.
Flag Officers?
I can assure everyone that the guy who complained about the flag is not in any way representative of how the vast majority of Kentuckians feel. Louisville is the liberal cesspool of Kentucky.
I really like to click the source link to read more, but their website is just completely unreadable for me.
You're right. Of course identifying Flag Officers should continue. I was thinking more along the lines of anything political. I understand loyalty to the Commander in Chief - that goes without saying. Senior military leaders should be free to express their concerns on policy matters directly affecting the military, however, the active military should remain neutral when it comes to partisan politics.
And these are the military guys Sarah Silverman expects to rise up against Trump in a coup? Riiiight.
(Love the flag! The statement it makes is loud and clear.)
Fixed it...
I agree. If it not GI, it does not belong there. Yes, he is CIC, but this is a very slippery slope. What next ISIS flag OK too?
