Anarchists are burning down our cities, and some bureaucratic twit in a uniform is bitching about Special Forces showing patriotism and respect for their CiC.
It’s not a matter of political correctness; it’s a matter of preventing the military from appearing partisan by any measure. Showing patriotism with American flags isn’t a problem and never has been. Showing a political campaign symbol is, based on current existing regulations.
I know.. it sounds anachronistic, but the military’s conformity, discipline and impartiality are among the traits that keep it the best in the world.
Little, in anything, will happen to these guys in this instance; they’ll simply be reminded what’s authorized as a display on military vehicles and what isn’t.
