Navy probing patches worn during Trump’s Wasp visit

By: The Associated Press    11 hours ago

WASHINGTON — The Navy says it is reviewing whether service members violated Defense Department policy or regulations by wearing a uniform patch with the words “Make Aircrews Great Again” during President Donald Trump’s visit to their ship in Japan.
The phrase emblazoned on the patch, along with what appeared to be a likeness of Trump, is a play on his campaign slogan.

In a brief statement Tuesday, the Navy said only that the matter was under review by Navy leadership to ensure that the wearing of the patches did not violate policy or regulations.

1. They know damned well it violates policy & regulations. They are afraid to discipline for fear

of Trump blowback. Just think what that says and what ELSE is getting swept under the rug. When Trump pardons military members convicted/charged with war crimes... what will be left of our military and the institutions that have made all of us safe and helped to ensure the safety of military as well?

The German military swore an oath to their political leader, too.

An oath of loyalty, not to their Constitution, but to their commander in Chief

3. I'd like to know where those patches came from.

They were specially made for the event.

Who had them made, who passed them out and when?

Those grinning idiots look young, relatively low ranking. Were they pressured or are they part of MAGA clique?

Frackn' A, that stunt violated policy or regulations.

4. Trump is pardoning military war criminals

He'll probably award these guys the Medal of Honor.

5. We had non-regulation patches on our work clothes in the Navy Seabees.

They weren't political and they were related to the mission to add to moral. Trump's image and slogan are disgusting. If this continues, you will see these patches on dress uniforms. At that point the Fascist State will be in place. This must stop now.
