so he has recovered from being triggered by President Trump renaming it 'Fort Bragg' again?

quote:

nternal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience based on political leanings and physical appearance. The troops ultimately selected to be behind Trump and visible to the cameras were almost exclusively male.

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said.

Service officials declined to comment when asked about the extent to which troops were screened, whether soldiers displaying partisan cheers on television -- a violation of long-standing Pentagon rules -- would be disciplined or if soldiers who objected to participating in the event, citing disagreements with the administration, would be disciplined or admonished in any way.

They probably make a pill for that. They do for everything else. Perhaps he needs to ask about it when he gets his next Descovy prescription.

Things were so out of hand, that there were actually booths set up to sell grotesque MAGA merchandise and memorabilia to our troops.

Dude is off base with those that are there. My son wears the maroon beret and a lot his friends wear the green beret. I can tell you most dgaf about politics directly but they are more MAGA than anything else just by their nature.

There should be NO fat soldiers, period.

I'm sure they were never screened for any other president.

Sounds like grounds for courts martial to me! Disrespect of a superior officer (Commander in Chief). Enjoy Levenworth a-hole!

"LITERALLY SHAKING"

He is the partisan.

Did he shake when Obama, Bush's and Biden were Presidents? When Obama purged DoD? When Biden had Hegseth's social media searched with others to test their loyalty to him? When Bush's had Americans killed for the result of Biden's horrid withdrawal of Afghanistan?

Was he shaking when Saddam Hussein's statue came down and helped nothing but a failed war and death to our troops? Haliburton won though...

What a brainwashed hack.

Wow, you guys are so enamored of Bragg.....interesting.....yeah I know it's ostensibly not Braxton Bragg anymore, but still why did we name a mitary base after one of the most profound LOSERS in American military history? What's worse, his own side thought he sucked.
