they 100% violated uniform regulations. However, the punishment is barely a chewing out. So…whatever. There have always been stupids in service.

In other news, Rear Admiral Trump is going to order the Navy to go back to steam catapults on carriers because “digital” catapults are complicated and no one understands them except Einstein and he’s dead.

Given those awful, deadly Navy collisions from a couple years ago, we can at least hope the Trump Legions are too incompetent to actually follow him across the Rubicon.

Trump crossed the Rubicon in 2016.

He and his traitors are crossing the pomerium thinking its they have Imperium.

You know, if you’re going to break regulations for this kind of partisan display, what’s to stop you from going being even more partisan if Trump is removed from office and refuses to go?

It’s so bananas to me that he still has a high approval rating among service members considering all the times he’s dissed POWs and disabled veterans. Not to mention the direct harm he’s brought to LGBT service members and non-citizen service members and who knows who else.

  1. From what I understand, the commanders can OK non-issued “morale” patches for events. Whether that is the case here, I dunno.

  2. That Trump patch looks like if Howard Chaykin drew it ala American Flagg.

It’s an old name, and a good name.

I dunno … the guy in the patch doesn’t look like Trump so much as the child of Mitt Romney and Andy Warhol. But that’s just my perception.

The worst offence is that romance novel cover “Trump” they put on there. He’s missing a few chins.
