This is a violation of Article 134 of the UCMJ. This cant be tolerated! When I swore my oath in 1975 it was to my country, not to a potus, and nothing has changed. Wearing patches or insignia in fealty to President is no different than showing fealty to a dictator. @tedlieu
Trump's visiting the USS Wasp today and the troops stationed in Japan.

Trump is going to this ship tomorrow. I hope they all have gotten the message from angry.

Trash day on the USS Wasp? It makes those airmen look like trashmen or they should be thrown out.

It's not simply about a patch. It's the message the photos of the patch wearers send.
