WASHINGTON — The Army has launched an investigation after a drill sergeant posted a video on social media of soldiers being hazed under a MAGA flag, which is a violation of regulations prohibiting political activity in uniform and on federal property, the service said.
Staff Sgt. Thomas Mitchell on Friday uploaded a video on TikTok showing a group of trainees performing pushups and burpees in full body armor under a banner that read, “This Is Ultra MAGA Country.” The video was later deleted. But Mitchell posted a second video showing the same soldiers exercising in the same location but with the flag removed, according to a Military.com report.
“The U.S. Army is an apolitical organization,” Fort Benning spokesperson Joe Cole said Wednesday in a statement. “Displaying partisan political materials in government facilities, including training areas, is prohibited under Army regulation.

Meanwhile the Dems are calling it "treason".
Sure they shouldn’t do that. But it was jaywalking compared to what Obama and Biden did.
They better ban something.
After watching a lot of them strolling along like they were walking in a park instead of marching in time at the 250 year celebration, i would say our military is in deep trouble.
Then, the friggan gang hand signs from those in vehicles.
The left wants to control what is considered political. Transsexual and gay, no.
But the rainbow flag was fine along with the trannies and queers.
“Then, the friggan gang hand signs from those in vehicles.”
Rumor has it that many gangbangers enlisted just for the combat training and potential connections.
The military should never want to make America great again. If the sign said make American weak again, it would be perfectly fine.
Sure they shouldn’t do that.”
Make America Great Again. There is nothing wrong or even political about that.
MAGA is a motto, not a political statement. Those who hate America reject it.
Oh the HORROR!!!!
American soldiers being trained and motivated to Make America Great Again!
They should be ashamed of themselves and the trainer made an example of, dishonorably discharged and silenced forever.
This idea must be stamped out and eradicated from out military.
Fight Fight Fight

“Rumor has it that many gangbangers enlisted just for the combat training and potential connections.”
I saw that when I was in. I thought it was more to do with free health care for life and other benefits. Surprisingly, they were usually “the best soldier(s) I have”. Same thing said of the pedos, drug-rapists and drug runners.
The military was their cover so they kept the disguise clean and spotless.
This idiot had his commission retracted and was expelled from the Army.
Other than the commission part, the DI will likely meet the same fate.
How is it that a cadet wears a CIB?
I think what they did was pretty cool.
Maybe not smart though.
I guess after the faggotry that OshitBiden tried to wreck our armed forces with some stricter discipline is overdue?
