As a 30 year Navy veteran, I am fucking embarrassed and pissed!

[maxrandb]

So "blanking" pissed I can’t see straight.

I am keeping as many screen captures of those fucking Nazi Sailors cheering on that worthless fuckstick. When sanity returns, every last one of those fucking Goat-Rope cheering dumbasses, needs to be Court Martialed.

You can applaud your C-in-C, but when he crosses a partisan line, you need to sit on your hands. The Flag Officers showed their professionalism...where the fuck was yours.

I hope some of these dickwads have a LCPO that will have them cleaning the fucking bilge in their Dress Whites off the coast of West Africa in the summer with a toothbrush.

Never saw shit like this in my 30 God Damned years. In fact, I can count on one hand the number of times partisan politics was ever discussed during my entire service...and I spent half in the Mess Decks and half in the Wardroom.

I attended many of these "dog and pony" shows. Visits from the President, VP, SECDEF and more TYCOMs and SES civilians than I can count. They were like fucking Seagull Musters...fly in, start screaming, shit everywhere, fly-off!

Never thought it would be the fucking Sailors playing the role of the flying rodents. Especially since I know, first-hand, what fucking "warriors" United States Navy Sailors are. I guarantee you that NOT ONE SINGLE ONE of those dipshits cheering on Ensjgn Gundeck, has ever seen a shot fired in anger. I also guarantee you that those little fucking pollywogs would be the first ones sobbing like a fucking toddler, if the Mess Deck Ice Cream machine was secured for cleaning, or the Ship's Store ran out of Doritos.

What a fucking embarrassment.

1. I was aghast. The must have been selected for their purity !

Did you notice it was all Caucasian males behind the Felon? I bet that they were hand-picked and knew to put in a show .

I agree - disgraceful. Clearly, many enlisted are traitors to the constitution. They will gleefully take aim at US citizens

15. Shitler Youth, as always.

It's almost as obvious as the Blonde Bimbos on Parade who hold the offices only a hardon away from the President, there for him to "reach out" to when he needs them to stroke his, um, ego.

[Submariner]

2. They were told no Liberty for a month

if you don't cheer on Commander Bone Spur.

And all the grunt snipes and deck apes knew they would be wiping oil out of the bilges, or chipping paint for a year if they gave Cankles a Sad. Pathetic.

[Grim Chieftain]

3. First, and I mean this from the heart, thank you for your service

to this once great country. I hope the time will come again when those who serve will pledge allegiance to our country and not a despot hell bent on destroying it.

4. So much for the bullshit the military will refuse unlawful orders. nt

5. Very sad day in America. More groups capitulating to pure evil.

Our country has gone to the dark side.

Now men and women in uniform are part of the Trump Crime Syndicate.

6. The biggest problem is that 35-40% of their "Shipmates"

aren't MAGAt ball-lickers.

You could not script something that would better tear a festering hole in command "good order and discipline", if you let Vlad Putin write it.

[Irish_Dem]

7. I believe Putin is behind the destruction of the US and the US military.

Trump is his puppet taking a wrecking ball to the USA.

Russia and China are rising to power and will be the sole global superpowers.

8. Probably lots of junior enlisted in that crowd

In the Army, we call them Joe Snuffies.

[haele]

14. Pickme's, weight rats, and newbies looking forward to early liberty.

Half are probably apolitical jr. Enlistednumbnuts who didn't wonder at all why most of the crowd was white males and MAGA.
Of course, the PAO was all in on this. They either were told or knew not to include anyone who wouldn't cheer.

[Hope22]

9. Wish I had a link to this!

I need to see but don’t it want to!!

[Joinfortmill]

10. I hear you, I do. Must be very disheartening

Saw a video of Hegseth, music blaring, making his macho entrance on deck. There were cheers, for sure, but not from everyone. Take heart. Some day he will be standing before a judge.

[NBachers]

11. Train your guns on Portland, Maties, and let's have some fun!

[Champp]

12. You can bet your ass the Obedient Clapping Navy Clownz were hand picked

by the Republican Ideology Commissioners.

Aesthetics is a bigly thing for Republican Fascism. It has no true heart, so it strains to create the illusion of precision and perfection.

No margin for error when you are madly stomping out free thought and free action.

[OldSWODog]

13. and there was at least one CPO and an officer in that background

which truly pisses me off (spitting nails when I saw it)...like the OP, I'm a retired lifer (only 23 years though) with 10 in the crew's Mess and 13 in the Wardroom and went through more than enough circus shows but nothing like what I saw yesterday...never had to deal with a Presidential visit (did escort the British Queen up the coast in '83 but that that was a unique exercise of theater)...never discussed politics in a group setting and only rarely with close shipmates...only heard the oorah when serving with the Marines, never in my part of the haze gray navy...the gathering of flag officers showed how it should have been done...we are in a cascading casualty situation now (lots of pegged gauges and blinking red lights)...cheers, OSD

16. The CNO is absolutely getting dragged in the comments of his FB Page for this shitshow

Some old salts giving it to him and Ensign Bonespurs is a beautiful thing.

[AStern]

17. That sounds too good not to share

[maxrandb]

18. Just google CNO and his Facebook Page will be in the results

I don't like to paste FB Links on DU.
